Default ET 15?

These have an ET of 15. how can i make these work on my TI? What exactly would i have to do to get them to fit. For the price you cant beat it.

if you get them for half cheap, i say go for it and give them a try... if your not lowered, you may not have any real problems at all... and if you do have problems, just re-sell them

I am lowered 1-1.4", so thats why i had issues.

i have offset et20 and im lowered a bit in the rear right now and some in the front and i rubbed and still do a little over big bumps. i would pass on them.

that extra 5 may just be over the edge if you wanna go lower down the road
