What wheels have you got, and what size/offset are they?

This may help people come up with some advice for you.

Newage WRX 17" wheels can be had cheap and will fit straight over

What size wheels do you have, you must know or have an idea?

15's little chance of clearing.

16's most should clear

17's all "should" clear

If you have really early 16's then they won't clear and it's new wheels time.
