I can't really tell if these are 14x5.5 or 14x4.5.....

The tires are 185/60/14's if that helps with the reference. I am still new enough that this angle looks like either or....

My rears had to be rolled to fit this size on my narrow body.
They need to be rolled a little more if i want to remove any neg. camber.

From research it appears all wheel wells are a little different. You might get lucky but IIRC most cars will have to be rolled a little in rear for the 16x6 to work.

Fronts are no problem.

I'm no Fuching Expert tho!!
Maybe I have 7's also and it was just to damn early in the morning for me??
Good Luck
Ken

Goddam, the reason I thought these 6 would fit is that I thought the 7's were the ones that didn't fit without rolling the lip and 6's were a good fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
