16x8 +0 offset wheels

So I'm wondering how rediculous or even if some 16x8 +0 offset wheels would look on a R53? I found some mesh wheels i really like but only come with a +0 offset. Any advice and pictures would really help. Thanks!

0 ET might be a little extreme and will most likely require a wide body kit or at least fender work (fender flares maybe?) to get them to fit (and look) properly.

What's the stock ET? Wow, that would kick your wheels out an additional 48 mm or something - and I'd think wouldn't be great for your hub bearings.

I saw a similare thread and someone said +15 in his opinion is the max. So I was curious if anyone is riding with +0? I think right now the wheels I have are +35 with an 8mm spacer and they poke just a tad. I guess I'll ditch the +0 offset.

Just out of curiosity, what were the wheels you saw with the 0 ET?
