Will 17x7 Rims fit on a SE? If so what would the exact Dimensions have to be.

Would I have to do any Modifications to the car itself? I'm wanting to buy these tight looking rims and don't want to purchase them if they aren't going to fit or I have to make any Major Modifications to make them fit.

Thanks a Bunch

17x7 with a 35 or 40 mm offset, with 215-40-17 " tires, you wont have any tire rubbing at all....

here is a pic of my car to give you an idea of what it will look like...

IMO, those look like wagon wheels. Too open and too big.
