Macster, Yes it really looks like it will be close. I didn't let the car down with the wheels on them, due to not being able to tighten them down properly. I am just going to try Tire Racks suggestion. It seems as if these wheels were supposed to be shipped with spacers. If they don't fit right, the wheels are going back, I think that there will be an issue of the tire sticking out past the wheel well. My car is lowered 1.25 in the rear, so I am very concerned... Reading through the posts that have been made on these particular wheels, Maybe they just fit the 97and up cars, in the sizes and offsets available... We'll see in a day or two.
