0 offset on an NC?
0 offset on an NC?
i want to get some sportmax 002 on my car and of course they are 0 offset. i think it can fit in the back for sure but will i have a trouble in the front? what would i have to do to get it to fit.

You didn't mention width which makes your question about offset impossible to answer but assuming you mean at least 8 inch width you have ZERO chance of fitting that wheel without cutting your fenders out and replacing them with seriously wide fender flares.
Read the other threads here on NC offset and wheel choice. See the RP-F1 thread in particular...

like a 16x7 or 8 with the smallest offset possible. how come i cant get a 16x8 0 offset in the back? if it dosent turn and dosent hit the fender what is the problem? i was thinking of getting 16x8 crazy offset in the rear and a 16x7 or 8 in the rear. i then would run a 205 in the front and a 215 in the rear.
the eibach springs only lower the car an 1" which the gap already is almost 3" right? what issue am i going to run in with the back? the front would maintain a normal offset for turning and such. and what if i use eibachs in the front 1" and RB in the rear .5" so i dont run into problems.

I ran 16x8 with 50mm offset and rubbed stock fenders. That was with 245mm race tires and we learned that with a 48mm offset we had a max fitment of 235mm in street tires before hitting the fender lips. This is covered over and over in the threads here and from them the math is pretty simple to figure that your 0 offset 215mm plan won't work....
Imagine that from that max fitment point we went down 20mm in tire width to a 215mm tire (which means at 48mm offset we would have 10mm more clearance to the outside and 10mm more to the inside...since half that 20mm of width savings is inside and half is outside). That would mean we can move a 215 out to about a 38/40mm before we hit the same issue that a 235mm does at 48mm...(depending on camber, height, tire brand and model, etc.). You are proposing to go another 40mm beyond the contact point we have already discovered....which is over an inch and half of clearance we know you don't have based on our prior fitments. Sorry, if you want to cut metal you can do the 0 offset 16x8 with 215...but otherwise it won't fit.
And from this same material above we know your second idea of 205 at 45mm will fit fine.
The optional SBC finish has a polished look (Super Black Chrome is what the letters stand for and it starts with a polishing of the wheel).

Per Brian's posting of what will fit and what won't, compare a "will fit" wheel / tire combo against those of your choice to read the comparison fitment results.
