Should be, I'm running 225/50ZR16 up front on +39 and it's fine. Also running 225/50's in the rear same offset and plenty of room it seems like.

I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding what those wheels call certain things. At the bottom for example they say the "offset" is 4.5", but converted to millimeters that is 114.3 so that seems like bolt pattern?

I don't think any of those would fit, but again I'm not sure what they are talking about for offset.

I doubt a 8 inch wheel with a +37 offset would work in the front or a 9 " wheel with a +37 offset would work in the rear.

Offset is how far in from the front or back of the wheel the mounting edge is (in milimeters).

To make it simpler, the front wheel he described in his first post is 10mm closer to the strut than a stock 16x7 wheel and extend out 16mm from what the stock wheel would.

And the rear wheel (his 9 inch wide wheel) would be 22 mm closer to the strut, and extend out 28 mm further than a stock 16x7.

Bolt pattern is what the space between each lug is.
