How wide are they.

I doubt you'll have a problem, I have 15'x6.5' wheels +40 offset with 205/50/15 tyres. And I've got tons of room, much more than another 5mm.

Mate, honestly - you're not going to notice if the wheel is sitting 5mm further in/out.

RP-01's are popular wheels, don't turn your nose up at them over 5mm offset difference.

Without going into it, the higher the offset, the further IN they sit.

So the same width rim, one has +45 one has +40, the +45 rim will sit 5mm further in than the other.

Its likely that they're an even higher offest, but it still shouldn't matter.

Yeah I guess 6.5" wide wheels would be alright. When I took my ae101 to the drags I used some 15x6 Mugen wheels on it and they were 45 offset and they looked $&#$% terrible, sat way inside the line of the guards. But yeah try them out and see how they look
