And yes, 45 mm is ideal because it gives some room to lower if not too much. At 42 mm if you lower you get interference..


Just a follow up on my posts & questions about fitment for 15x7 +38...
Taking a risk, I went with my original choice of wheel & bought XXR 501s in black; they are 15x7 +38 offset. I had them mounted on my stock Dunlops (15x6.5) and there are no rubbing issues so far. I am not lowered, but was told I could probably still do a moderate drop and be okay.
Thanks for everyones input.

Heres a pic of them on:
