Assuming you have AP1 16" rims right now, just do a calculation to figure how much farther out the rim is going to be.

Front OEM 16": +55mm offset, 6.5" wide
VS-XX: +35mm offset, 8" wide
That's 20mm from the offset, and (8"-6.5")/2 = 1.5" from the rim width. That's 20mm / 25.4mm per inch + 1.5" = 2.3".

Rear OEM 16": +65mm offset, 7.5"
VS-XX: +35mm offset, 9" wide
That's 30mm from the offset, and 1.25" for the rear. That's 2.5" farther out.

Go out take a ruler and measure 2.3" out from the front rim and 2.5" from the rear. Then make a guess how much you have to add because of the tire. That'll give you an idea how tight it going to be, and it's going to be pretty bad. IMO gonna need a widebody kit to lower bad.

You'll definitely need to roll your fenders, if not pull them out.
Stretch them tires!

roll the rear fenders and camber the wheels in. I recommend 215 in the front and 245 rear as far as tire size.
