holy low offset batman!

I'm about 99% sure it'll rub (and the remaining 1% is just to cover my ass in the event of a miracle).

With a 7" wide wheel, you'll want something like a +42 or a +45

it has a 40mm offset, so you're getting closer. I've heard some people with 40mm offsets on 7" wheels say they rub, and I've heard some people say they don't. Personally, I'd try to find at least a +42mm offset.

if you do it correctly, I don't see why not.

I'd recommend rolling your fenders before you put the new wheels on... if you put the wheels on and wait to roll the fenders, you could wrinkle the fenders if/when you hit a bump if the wheel hits the fender lip.

If you buy a wheel that fit's..... no need to roll anything.....
