There's no way you can say that.

It depends on the wheel width, because offset says absolutely nothing about the width. Offset and width are completely separate things, and they both affect fender clearance. For example, a 6 inch wide wheel with a +15 offset and an 8 inch wide wheel with +15 offset are obviously going to be about an inch different in fender clearance, and both wheels have exactly the same offset. So you need to know BOTH the offset and the width to find out if they'll fit.

Just to clarify, offset is the distance from the center of the wheel. How far you are from the center of the wheel doesn't give you any information about how wide the wheel is. That's why offset by itself is completely useless.

i thought the 513's came in 7" & 8" widths. the 7" one has a +15 offset while the 8" one has a 0 offset. the +15 will fit nicely with some fender rolling. in order to tuck the 8" one you'd need to add some camber.


also, dont just be thinking about rims. tire choice is important as well.
