Hey stranger. Haven't seen you on here for a while.

Hope all is well with the car?

I'm 90% sure i saw a pic once of 16" steels running 312s if that helps?

my answer is probably as vague as your question lol.

I have 16" steels and they only just pass the standard calipers!

When u say just pass do u mean radially Depth wise? Therefore spacers would fix this?

There's a bit more space than I first thought, but still think it would be too close
