<img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> 17" x 11" (+50mm) offset this will get you in 315s with out any other mods unless you are lower then stock then you might need a APHB

11s are the largest you can run with out any modification on a stock ride height car. Lowering and/or going wider will result in the rolling of the fender lip, beating the innerfender in with a BFH, and an eye on the LCAs. Good luck!

Yup, They will fit. Ill *try* to snap some pics of my cars rolled fenderlip. They will fit, but once you get them, you will know exactly what to do. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
