Seems like a rear wheel drive offset, but should unless the spokes are funky.

Default They will clear the brakes fine, but there is no way they will clear the fenders

They will stick out quite a bit.

If my math is right, the rears should stick out ~1.75" more than stock, fronts ~1.5".

8.5 in et35 is almost *even* with the TOP of the fenders; you are insane.

The tires would be wider than the fenders, not my style, but also not my car.
