Need help with wheels.

so I decided the wheels that I want are gonna be the drop star DS05 in chrome, but my problem is the offset so my question is will these wheels fit. 5x112 wheels, The Offset is 30 and the Hub Bore is 66.56.

i know the offset is supposed to be 40+ but i cant seem to find the wheels in that offset.

will these fit or are they useless if i buy them ?



thanks for the help.

Won't fit. You could try stretching your tires by going with a smaller width. Are you lowered? That low of an offset, you are pretty much guaranteed to rub. Not a problem if you don't mind the sound and wear on your tires and your wheels sticking outside of your fenders. You can try adjusting the camber and tuck them inside the wheel well.

drop down to 19".. machine off as much as u can from the wheel.. prob only 5mm, and stretch the tire.. it will work.. but your gonna stick out the fenders about .7 of an inch..
