If not what is the maximum width and offset I can use without rubbing?
Thanks

The 15 x 8 et 25 is 2.5 inches wider than the factory 15" wheel and the smaller offset by 20mm will probably make the wheel protrude from the fender arch... My concerns include:
1. clearance between the TIRE and the front strut using this wheel.
2. possible tire clearance inside the fender when the wheel is turned to the stops.
3. possible rubbing when the rear suspension is fully compressed.
