The ones on the left look like they have a pretty vicious offset.  Expect major rubbing of the fenders up front.

I'd go with the Gambler wheels on the right, but even they might present some problems with rubbing.  Nowhere near as severe as the others, though.

It would take some mods to avoid rubbing for sure.
