they are 17x7 +40 offset... thanks... no rubbing issues on mine, loaded or not (i always have the box packed with peeps all seats taken), prolly coz theyre not wide enough... i need some spacers... no rubbing on turns either, handles pretty good on tight turns, better than my civic...

Question ok?

my wheels are like at least an inch awayfrom the fender to flush... meaning i need like 20mm spacers but i think i'll settle for 15mm just to be safe...

rolling fenders means pushing them out a bit. if you look at the fender it has a lip on the inside and roling them flods that up and pushs the fender out a bit giving your tire a bit more room in the fender well.
