also, you can base your conclusions off of this thread as well.

EDIT: ^ realized this thread has no more pictures. =[


but like starscream FD said, your wheels will still be sitting within the wheel well. the wheels won't be touching the shock either.

FD wheels are +50mm so adding 15mm will result with a 35mm 16x8 wheel.

along with ilikeeatpoo's link, you can use this as your guidelines as well.
