Would these fit at all on a T2?

Thanks,
Sam

In the back it would, but it'd probably look lame and sunken in. It will probably rub on the springs up front though. I'd run closer to a +30 or even +25 offset.

Not in front...
...not without radiacally changing the position of the front strut.

Hell, you can slap on a 1/2" spacer?

A guy in the area is selling some SSR comps in that pattern, not for a great price, but I think I can work him down that's why I was interested. Thanks much for the help. but so an 8.5 could fit in the front? I'd like to run the widest rims I could without needing a wide body set up, I'm all about the grip.

ok I'm just wondering here because I have some rather wide tires in the front and back and when I went out and measured the width of the rim it was 10" in the back and 9" in the front (measured rim not tire width) and they are perfect no rubbing or anything. The PO put these on and had a rear camber adjuster put in but I don't think he had anything upfront.
