I need some help with the fitment on a set of 16x8 BBS RX wheels with a 38 offset. I have been offered a set of 5 of these in chrome for only $250. I was wondering if these will my on my 98 coupe with the stock tire size of 205/60/16. Thanks for the help guys.

The wheels will be pretty much flush without camber, but if you're stock height it'll be fine. :eusa_doh:

As far as those tires..... you're gonna be stretching... and IMO won't look that great unless you're slammed. The TL rims come with 235's on the 8" wide wheels. I have 225's on my 8" wheels.

For reference, I'm running 8" wide wheels with +45 offset, and they fit fine, and I think the additional 7mm really won't be a problem at all.

ok sounds good. I'll probably have to buy some different tires then. What is the stock offset for the 16x6.5 rims and i'll be at stock height. My wife drives this car.

be like it is
yeah a 205 on an 8" will be stretched...goofy looking if youre not tucking (or almost tucking) tire...

offset should be ok...

edit: aren't the stock rims in the high +40s? even +50 to 55?
