Will be ok if there no wider than 7" and your not going to lower it too much.

explained offsets here, but reading it it does seem quite confusing...

god don't get me started on offsets!!!
my seat wheels are ET43 and fit fine obviously! (quite inside the arch, thery are 6.5J)
the 17s were 8.5J with an ET30 and they fitted fine but came too close to the arch and had to come off!!
my new 16s (same make and model as the 17s) are an ET35 and these scrape on the calipers!!
its driving me insane!!

what size wheels are they?? And is your car lowered?

I have et30's on mine but they are only 14's, sit perfectly, fill the arch out.
They are in line with the arch.
