It depends on more than that though.
it's hard to explain, but they won't stick out.....here is what it might look like....
Instead of....
but there are other factors you must consider....what is the width of the wheel? What is the backspacing? things like that make a huge difference.....

Yeah are we talking 6" to 6" wheels - or are you changing rim width too?
