wheel fitment

[gbeto]

ok, I got this deal...
I got some 16x7 crome rims, brand new but dont know who makes them... the thing is that they are really wide, I put them on (dont have tires yet), and there is only one finger from the rim to the shock...will there be a problem? and because they are huse, adding spacers will be a right choise, but I like to drive hard, and slide on the corners... bigger tires = no drift... is that right? I dont whant to let them go... any wheel guru out there? help me out! please!

one finger is plenty, i've driven with about a piece of paper width between my coils and wheels :)

Why chrome? 16x7 is not big. You will be fine. ^ I am like that too.

7 inches wide is NOT wide, kid.

I thought I said that to.

ok ok... compared to my old ones, those are wide.... all I found on the wheels was this 16x7J; O/S +40; DOT-T;690kg;prime;VIA TTC...
and the little box with the center pieces said american eagle but nothing on the rim itself.... brand new all, for $450 and two months to pay`em... im still thinking its too wide... now my finger cant get in between the tire and shock...

not wide, just not low enough offset
