Stock FD wheels are 16x8 +50. +0 is not going to fit on stock fenders at all. I've seen 8.5 width +35s fit. Unless you can shave over 1 inch (25.4mm) off the mounting pad, those +0s aren't working without some kind of aftermarket fenders.

Maybe you could mimic the drifting guys and stretch a tire on the rim and run some crazy camber.

'Fit' is a relative term anyway. In my opinion, if it lunches your fender even one time, it doesn't 'Fit.'

Get a set custom made with enough offset.

Wheel spacers reduce offset. Here you need to increase.

I like those wheels they are sharp. I know that you can by adapter hubs from pepboys. But you may have to but longer studs to compensate for the space plates. When you figure out how you made the setup work please post.
