I think I'm going to install 16x8 inch rims, once I find something I like.
Whats offset would I be looking for with this set up.
Looking to be flush with the fenders.

Thanks
DEF

Are you sure about that? Coomer posted a white car with 8" wide rims and a 35 offset awhile back that reported no rubbing. Based on my calculations, even 35 would be very close to rubbing on suspension components. I would not go higher than 35 on an 8" rim. If your car is dropped more than 1.5", you will definitely need to roll the rear fenders.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
