Depends on two things: Offset and more importantly, spoke design

Mount the wheel on with your stock brakes. See how much space is  
between the spoke and stock calipers. I’d say 2-fingers or more and  
you’re OK. Also depends on how chubby your fingers are though. 🤣

my old te37’s were 16x7 +38 and fit with room to spare, but like gonad said spoke design will matter the most.

Offset really plays no part… sometimes it can indicate the directions teh spokes take from the mounting surface, but other than that it tells you nothing. Spoke design is all that matters.
