Summary:

It’s important to check clearances on your car, including body, brake, suspension and guards to ensure correct fitment. Don’t rely on online tools alone as they can easily miss small details such as clips, etc.

Take measurements of all the critical clearance areas with your existing wheels fitted, then use an online calculator to determine the difference between your current wheels and the ones you’re interested in.

You may need additional equipment such as spacers, camber adjustment arms, ect to achieve the exact look you want.
