You're going to have a bit of scrubbing by the looks of that picture, and it won't all be offroad.

it'll be close i agree, but those rims aren't bolted on yet, so i'm hoping bolted on they will fit.
if it scrubs, the factory adjustable shocks are gone and lifted it shall be

Why go sunnies? You're going 1" larger in overall diameter - they'll fit whatever rims your existing tyres are on.

the rims on it already have decent h/t on them, thinking of keeping them as spares as is.
plus i like the look of black sunnies with decent tyres
i read your engineering post - what rims were you running?

16x8 with zero offset - Mullins "Patrol" fitment.
