yeah but if you get them in 8" then you have major rub issues like 002's do. Im thinking about going with 15x7 in a +04 offset.
002's are split in half, with the 0 offset. So you have 4 inches of the wheel sticking off the hub.
15 x7 in a +04 will have 3.343 inches of wheel from the hub. You would save 2/3rds of inch with that size. Thats about how far 002s stick out right? Im thinking this would make them sit very flush and still have a respectable lip size. The only con would be it would be a 7" wide wheel which wouldnt allow for any type of tire stretch. I really wish they would offer the 8" in a +20-25 offset. That would sit very nicely. The +30 isnt bad but only gives you 2.819 of wheel from the hub. Not very deep. +30 would be good for the front of the if you want to keep it a little more conservative.
BTW Zach, if you got those with a +04 in 8" you would have 3.843 of wheel coming off the hub.

check out www.18racing.com. I'm eyeing the 16x8 +04 rear and 16x7 +04 front.
