From forum readings, good chances of tire rubbing, at least when turning. The car will ride more harsh is the streets aren't smooth

I suggest remove one of the wheels on the car and read the offset and dimension stamped somewhere inside. If the offset is positive, you may want to get similar or smaller offset. It is best to do it this way because wheels are varied and you must clear the front calipers.
