Hay guys, it's me again, with another wheel question :D

*groans*

Anybody got pics of 16-17x8" wide wheels in offsets from +29 to +40 and/or 16-17x7.5" with +23 to +40mm?

I got this crazy idea (http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp") that I could go as far as to fit an 8" wheel on my car.
But I will bet you anything that you can squeeze the 16x8", +25mm fitment under a protege's fenders w/o too much work.
I figure with a slight stretch, some camber, fender rolling and maybe a slight tug, I can fit the extra 35mm of wheel that a +29 8" wheel would yield. +25 8" would be 39mm more outwards, so it would be iffy I think, trying to get that other 4mm in there, would definitely be pushing it - probably wouldn't get away without some time in the bodyshop.
