Default Wheel Fitment

I was looking at some Panasport 14x7 wheels, 38mm offset, but I have a sneaky suspicion that they will not fit on with my 2004 Sport Brake setup I have. My car is a 1996, but I don't think that matters much anyways. What are the guidelines for figuring this out? Or anyone know already if they will fit or not?

Of note also... I had a hell of a time keeping the stick on wheel weights on my 14x7 panasports. I kept melting them off... SOOO annoying.

Thanks a million guys, guess I am going to have to look for some good sized 15" wheels, is there a particular offset that usually will fit with the sport brakes, or it's just a hit or miss based on the wheel?

On a related note what wheel/size would fit over corrado swapped rotors? That's my plan for the distant future but wheels will likely come before that. Any 15"?

Throw a piece of metal tape over them.
