I hate to say it but it will probably look terrible.
I'd re-sell the rims and get ones that fit better.

They're still better than my steel rims. especially handling wise. You'll never know exactly how ugly they will look untill you mount them up.

i say put them on and see how they look! a little "poke" isnt that bad. i'm surprised i dont see more people on here that have low cars with low offset wheels, it looks good if you roll and pull the fenders.

I thought that they would stick out more.
Mine almost stick out that much.
I guess you have to search your soul and make a decision. If I were you I would start listing for a little bonus money and see if I could come up a little on them. Then selling them would be a great decision.
They don't look too bad from the side. Did you get a pic from the front or the rear.

They don't look too bad from the side. Did you get a pic from the front or the rear. Luckily I only paid a grand total of $60 bucks for them when originally the dude wanted $100. And no I didn't take any front the front or back
