Well, you have 2.5" more rim width. If the offset was still 45mm you'd be putting 1.25" more in and 1.25" more out in the wheelwell than OE. Since your offset is about .8" more outward of center, thus moving the rim/tire inward this much, you only have about .45" or about a 1/2" more outward in the wheelwell than OE (which is terrific; thanks to the big 65mm offset) Just need to be sure there is clearance inward where all this meat is going. Definitely need to test fit for this clearance; first w/o tire mounted (also measure as if tire is mounted, as best you can); check clearance around caliper (should be no problem in rear unless spoke design is an issue). Let us know and show pics when done; What mfg. wheels are these anyway?
