It will rub everywhere. You'll have to have adjustable camber in the front, and roll the front fenders to fit. The rear you might be able to fit with rolling and pulling the fenders a bit depending on tire size.

For reference my gsl-se has 16x7 +10 with 195/45/16 in the front. 16x8 +0 with a 215/40/16 in the rear and the rear needs fender flares because they stick out an inch beyond the fender. THe front was easily brought into line with a little bit of camber.

wow beautiful car man. By looking at that i dont think 16x7 with 0 offset will fit. I mean if your front is +10 and you have to use camber to keep em in i don't think it will work.

If you have camber plates, the front with a +0 offset shouldn't be too bad. I'm running about -2 degrees negative camber, so nothing to crazy to get them to fit and I haven't even rolled the fenders yet.

The rear will be trickier but you may be able to get by with rolling and pulling the rear fenders a bit to get them to fit.

thanks but i dont want to touch the fenders at all just in case if i want to go back to stock. Also isnt there a risk of cracking the paint when u roll the fenders.

Try to keep the backspace at maximum 4.25" or 4.5" so it clears everything. .. Those rims look sick BroncoBlitz
