I found a good price on the wheels I want but need to know before ordering.

In front? Gosh, why? They'd stick out entirely too far.
EDIT: I should rephrase. With a 50mm offset, they'd also stick in too far; they will rub on the struts.

not only that, but you'd have to be REAL picky in the tires you picked.
