You need to modify the dust cap on your front rotors. The rear's should bolt right up.

so by " modify" do you mean "flatten with a hammer"?

Rears will stick out past the fender lip with the SVO rear disk setup.

As for the fronts, unsure if the snout of the rotor will fit. Have your buddy stop by, pull a wheel off and test fir the front and rear.

alright, i think the rims would look good on the car so in the back if it sticks out would i just have to roll my fender?

Unsure, that offset is a tight squeeze with the 17x8's.

The cobras are 17x9 so it might go out past the fender a bit. Rolling may not help

Why not have him drive over and just swap out one side real quick to see if they fit and if you like them That's like 10 min of work and then you know
