gonna have to roll the fenders, and pull'em a little if you want them to not stick out. my gf's sileighty has the 501's in 16x8+15 and they're almost perfect, no rubbing so +0 i would expect to stick out about 1/2" - 3/4"

Do you plan on a staggered setup if so i would recomend something like 205/215/50 and 225/50 would work the widest tire recomended on a 8in wide wheel is like a 235 anything else would just look like is bubbling over the lip hope this helps any questions i would just call a good tire shop up and ask them or even something like tirerack.com they'll give you the right size for your car and you can enter a staggered setup

That's 15x7(0 offset) with 205/60/15's, way to tall sidewall I know, and im actually going down to 195/50/15 here shortly.

wrong

the right tire and camber and just rolling the inside will work perfect and fit better then your girls rims. i have seenyour girl's car and it needs to be lower
