Stock TurboII wheels are +40 offset 16x7. It'll sit just a little bit deeper than a stock wheel. I personally wouldn't like that, go for something from +30 to +35 to have the wheels much more flush with the body.

deeper meaning inside wheel well more?
i have a 1" spacer in the rear would that help?

a spacer would definatly help. the right offset wheels would be even better
