Default Wheel fitment
My buddy has a set of 5x114.3 17x8 +16 offset wheels and I am wondering if they will fit my Fox when I do my 5 lug conversion.

I'm not familiar with that offset, are these off some foreign FWD car ?

If you can measure the offset and if it's between 4" - 5" they should fit being only 8" side. Just verify the offset first.

The offset is +16mm. The backspace is 5.125

Oh, I understand now. My bad, I missed the "+" offset. They should be fine, but only one way to find out for sure.
