If you know the specs of you wheels put them in here http://www.willtheyfit.com/

Then change the offset from eg 30 to 20 they tell you how much/less more they poke out.

Please edit your post, use . and , and stuff like that.., grammar matters on here.

I am hoping that English is this guy's third language.

You measure out from your tire in a horizontal direction to the first place they will hit the fender. That measurement is the max you can go before you start rubbing the tire on the fenders, so anywhere between 0 and that number will work.

OP! Use a ruler and measure from the tyre, or if you have stretched tyres, from the wheel lip or whatever part that will hit the arch first. Keep the ruler horizontal and measure to the inner side of your wheel arch/fender.

There's a lot of info on this around and is easier to search for it than ask. That's why you will get smart replies.

If English is not a language you are used to, please tell us we can try and understand, otherwise stop typing like your 6. Its very, very hard to read or understand.

You want respectable folks to answer, then type like you have some education.
