NO BUT THE OFFSET IS WRONG!!! YOU HAVE TO USE SPACERS TO BRING THE
OFFSET CLOSE TO 20MM!!!!

There ya go Bob. <grin>

Even if they clear the calipers, with the wrong offset the wheels will be
too far in the fender well...which would #1, look stupid and #2, make the
car handle like crap.

Spacers arent bad though.
