I just won these wheels on e-bay. I know the off set it too high but they are 3 pice wheels and I got a good deal. The back spacing will fit so I'm thinking all I need to do is move the rear outer hoop to the front and then buy a new wider rear outer hoop for the rears. any ways let me know what you guys think. Oh ya I have the RA65 front struts so I've got about 15mm more clearence up front then the stock struts.

Move the rear outer hoop to the front?
Still will have the same backspacing in the front so an adapter is still needed (spokes will hit the strut).
25mm adapter needed on a 16x8 +34 in the fronts, or 40mm! if the RA65 struts have 15mm more space...

it's a stagerd set up 7" front and 8" rear, so if I did my math right (and I proly didn't lol) there should be 4.8" back spacing on the front wheels plus 1/3" for the thinkness of the wheel lip? I went out and mesuered how much room there was from the hub face to the strut and I had 5.25" dose that all add up tho?

The rears should fit no prob tho right, it's just a mater of how much they will fill out the flares?
