The front will work fine - the rear will be agressive and depending on the tire size you may need to roll your fender

NO WAY is that going to work.

The front will be 27 mm further out than OEM 16, and the rear will be 37 mm further out than the OEM 16.

According to my calculations, the rear will stick out past the fender by about 10 mm.

Not exactly sure about the front, but I think you need an offset of around 55 to fit an 8" wheel. Someone else can clarify if they know for sure.

I'm running a 17x9 +65 in the rear and I see that there is a good estimated 1/2 inch of room available to go out further. 1/2 inch = around 12mm which would make it around +53 offset. +47 is not too far off, which means that it is not entirely out of the question and for sure not 10mm sticking out of the fender.

I calculated 7 and rounded to ten, cuz either way, it ain't going to fit right.

For reference, here's a car with 17x9.5 +55. A 17x9 +47, if you calculate it, will stick out 2mm more than this! Even if it somehow doesn't rub, it'll look like ass sticking out.

Also check out this thread. Read the whole thing.
