Default These rims gonna fit?

Hey guys.. I did the whole search thing.. and yes, I read up about it... but I want to be 100% sure before I lay out a grand to pay for these rims to find out they wont fit.

They are 20" Dropstar DS05 rims... 7.5", 5x114.3, with a 42mm offset. 225/35/20 tires... Im on stock suspension

Does this seem ok?

This is them...http://www.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=372608

Thanks guys!

yeah they'll fit. they will also make the car look like an overstuffed pillow riding a skateboard. they are going to be far too narrow and sunken into the wheelwells.

7.5" width is pretty narrow and offset is weak - you may want to keep looking - nothing like dropping that kind of cash only to dislike your setup. I have 9.5" on back and 8.5 up front and wish they were wider.

look for a staggered setup. get on ebay, they have tons of choices. offsets aren't super strong, but at least the width will be better. there's a japanese importer on there that sells lots of good wheels in aggressive fitments too if you don't mind used wheels.

Thanks alot guys... I personally love the look of the rims, but I wasn't too happy about them only being 7.5" with 225s.... thats gonna look real skinny, like you guys said...

I would like AT LEAST a 8.5" rim with 245's...

I am going to take all your comments and agree with them... I am going to pass on these and wait for a bigger width rim, even to spend a few hundred more... thanks!!

Not to give them a free plug but also check out Status wheels in Miami bro. Honestly, they are reasonable and have selections that clear our front calipers.
