so what else can i do???
before thinking of selling these and getting better offsets of rims.
i gotta question for you!....
so i got some rims with 0 offset. and they are 16x8's love this stance.
yes.same set up as sportmax 002.but done by ESM wheels.
not that it bother's me. but i would like to cover up the wheel more.
it just seems that it's just sticking out in the front just a TAD bit. i know that this has
been an issue for awhile now.but never really got a clear answer.
i was considering flares.but i dont like how the bbist flares look. it's just to agressive
for a daily driven box with no kit. i saw some from chargespeed it's a bit more decent
and i think i can bare with that.
camber not to sure just looks a little funny.
but would there be an alternate to cover it up more or just get it close to being
flushed.
iam lowered with s-tech's so that you know. and iam on 205/45/16's.and rolled
fenders.
any input from you guys would help with pic's if possible.
thanx.

Honestly, dude... just sell em. They're not worth it. I don't care what anyone here says 16x8 et 0 DOES NOT FIT.
You asked if they would rub, everyone told you they would, you got em anyway. Quit while you're behind and get something less aggressive. Get a set of 501s or something. The 15 offset will still give you the look without so much poke. To go through the hassle of all this to run a cheap wheel just isn't worth it.

I daily drive on 16X8 et 0.
I think your not low enough with the s-techs. You must have a lot of wheel gap. That could be one reason why they look like they have a lot of poke.

rub harder as much iam rubbing right now. i dont want
to camber either iam on a tight budget.just looks a little to funny for me also.

there's not much more that can be done if you dont want to run camber. mabye you could get a smaller tire for more stretch to kinda bring the shoulders of the tire back under the fenders .....maybe 205/40

^^ x2 on what he said.
if you don't want to run camber, you can try doing the flares you suggested. IMO it'd look funny if you don't have the right drop with it. plus you'd have to get it painted and whatnot, if you're on a budget that's something you'd have to think about.
if you don't want the hassle of making the 0 offset work, do what burstaneurysm suggested and get the xxr 501's. those offsets are more xB friendly and they won't poke out like the ones you have now. they give you a more flush look.
but yeah. i think everything else was already covered.
