Nope, your going to need serious arch work.

well that sucks....borbet a's as well would of looked fantastic. i really dont get this offset sh!t, i want the wheels to sit almost level with the arches as ive been told that if you put some stretch on the tyres you wont need arch work is that right ????

LazyLunatic got Borbet 16x9's, and as far as I know, he hasn't done any "serious" arch work...

Actually, I don't think you will need any work at all, if it's standard height.
