49mm offset, anybody?

Looking around, haven't seen anybody that high in offset, would rather poke them out but don't have a choice right now.

Anyone see any issues running a 49mm offset versus the factory 42mm? Trying to figure this out without test fitting, silly I know .

How wide are the rims? If they are 7 or 7.5 in there could be issues with it hitting the suspension components if you have bigger tires like 225 or 235.

Pretty positive they're 17x7's. 225/45 tire's. For reference they're off of a Saab 9-5, the 9-3 wheels I run for winter are a 42mm.

they should fit without an issue, 7mm is really practically nothing.

My thoughts too, I'm going to throw car on hoist and check clearances. They're a couple hours away and I have a friend whom is traveling right by them this weekend hence the lack of test-fitment.
