new wheels

So I picked these up for real cheap today. 17x8 Fondmetal with 215/45R17 Kumho tires with about 75% tread. They need to be refinished real bad, I am probably going to get them powder coated black after I blast them down.



Anyone placing bets on whether or not I can get them to fit without rubbing up front? I have no idea what the offset is, but they came off my buddies '01 accord. The front tires rubbed the strut before I spaced them out a quarter inch, now I'm thinking they will rub the fender lip under heavy cornering.

I like the color of the car + the color of the wheels. the only way to know if they'll rub is to slap em' on and drive!
