Default 3mm offset with 190mm body

I just purchased a set of HPI "Work SP1" wheels in a 3mm offset and I am running a 007 with the Mazda6 shell. Will this combination work or will it rub? If it will rub, then I wont bother with the look and get a zero offset wheel instead.

Is anyone running this combo (3mm offset with Mazda6 body)? Thanks.

Front, back, or both? If you run 3mm in the rear, you should be fine. Running that offset in the front might be hard on the tires, and you'll end up scrubbing off speed.

Both.

So, I guess I'll be selling them!

You could get away with it, if you make the fender wells bigger. But it wouldn't look vary realistic.

It would work just fine, you just might need to trim the body a tad extra around the wells.
