3 to 5 lug adapters

Hi, just recieved my adapters and have a question about the rim width.
Im looking to buy theese Dotz Hanzo , 8x17 front and rear, just not sure about the rim width, if they would fit the fron without rubbing?

Or are theese DOTZ - TOUGE , 7x17 front 8x17 rear a better choise ?


best regards linus

Depending on the wheel offset and the thickness of your adaptors, you may find that 8" is too wide. I have 7"s and my tires are even with the body. Anything wider and they would be sticking out.
