You should probably hook up your water and oil gauges.
it must get annoying driving around with them pointed at 0 all the time. Nice car, I like it.

if you do the low offset be prepared to pull your 1/4s.

ya it depends how bad it rubs and what not im okay with a little bit of poke.
i actually found a decent set of 15x8 rims +25 all around,
im curious of how they would fit? any ideas of how i could measure that out to tell how much they would stick out

measure @ 3.5 inches from the hub surface (where the studs are) out.. thats about where the wheel lip will be.

wheel width divided by 2. to find center. Multiple by 25.4 to get mm..
outside width is the subtract offset (if +) then divide by 25.4 to convert back to inches.
then remember "to the lip" is typically @ 1/2" so you need to add that.
example:
8" rim with 25mm offset, 4" center, 101.6mm center, -25mm= 76.6mm, @ 3" in front of hub, + @ 1/2" to lip = @ 3 1/2"
