What needs to be done to fit 16" rims
I'm planning on getting BBS RS 16x7 fronts 16x8 rears with an offset of +24 all around. What modifications needs to be done to make 16's fit? As far as boring out the center and other modifications? I already have all my fenders flared and rolled, so I'm just wondering if I can just put the rims on or what? I'm trying to make it sit flush so what tire size is recommended? Should I run streched/wider tires? Also how much negative camber do I need to run? I tried searching for this info, but came up short. Thanks in advance!

It is not the 16" wheels that are going to be a problem. It is the offset that is going to cause the problems. They are going to stick out of the wheel well and they will rub. You are going to need to run more negative camber and roll the fender lips. Stay with a narrow tire as well.
