should be OK. most run 50+ offset so you may be close to the fender, but the right tire selection may help you there too.

Don't rims with a 50 offset require spacers?? To get it closer to fender because there is so much offset, i.e. closer to the strut. From what i understand, a rim with a 35-40 offset can go on the front of a super beetle with out spacers. With a 45, you might be ok, but I would call topline and ask some questions. If you do need spacers, you may need longer studs, depending on the need for spacers.
