Lowered with 15's

Would the wheels be flush 15x6.5 38mm offset and a 1.5 inch drop all around? I'm a noob in the import tuner world so please forgive me

i think you'll still be a bit sunk, you'll have to go lower, if u dont want to go lower, get spacers. not sure how big.

I am on swift springs with 15x7 +35 (195/50/15) and it sits pretty flush.

I like how your shoes fit konespeed. Do you have problems going over speed bumps, do you ever bottom out? I'm only thinking 1.5 inch drop cause I'm really not sure how much lower I can go without running into those issues I just stated. Crash is your car lowered?

speed bumps no so much but big bumps while driving i rub in the rear. im getting my rear fenders rolled soon so it should be fixed. my wheels are 15x7 +25 offset. U shouldn't experience as much rubbing as i do, but the rears might need some adjusting. should be flush!

regaurdless of rim diameter since offset/width is everyhitng to get flush; i had 7.5" wide rims, +40 offset , lowered on progress springs (about 1" drop)
front was about 1/4" poke outside the front fenders (a little negative camber made i flush)
rear was still just inside the quarter panel.

to be even flsuh all around, youll need a staggered rims setup of around 15x7 +35 or 15x7.5 +40 in the front and about 1/2" wider rim or 10mm lower offest in the back.

obviouly with a more aggresive rim setup, rolling/pulling and trimming bumper clips will be necessary.

Any offset less than 45 mm is prime candidate for interference with any drop unless you don't mind body mods.

15X7 +32 front + 27 rear tires are 195/50/15
The fronts are about flush, the rears could go another 5mm out, but fenders need to be rolled

I've got enkei rpf1 15x7 41mm offset with 195/55 tires and a 1.5 inch drop front/back. My tires are at least flush if not sticking out just a little bit.
