uh thge shp 16x8 fronts are the exact same offset as the 16x7 fronts.

Now 16x8 rears are -7 or 10 canbt remember which, then the 16x9 shp rears are 0 offset. The easiest way to tell the rear wheels apart is just to look a tthe lip, the 9inch rear has a more outpushed spoke and only one true lip while the 8 has a flatter spoke and 2 sexy lips. A rear 16x8 wheel will rub on the front fenders.

Here is a real 16x8 rear. Sorry for the ultra bling I put on them, the reflection makes it a bit tough to make out the lips :) As you can see there is quite a bit of offset.

If you have a rear without the second lip it's not a 8 but a 9

You might be able to run them but its going to look retarded without having more offset in the back. Maybe some spacers might offset the weird look though? I think you'd be better off with 16x8 shp fronts so you can actually take advantage of the wider wheel, then space it out a little with spacers if you want a wider look.
