has anyone ever ran a rim with this spec before? I found a rim that has this but was wondering if there's anything I need to know about this before I buy the rim. the tires I'm probably gonna use are like a stock size, 195/50/15.

input, comments, concerns, let me know pls!

 

there is a guy running a 15x8.5 +17 and it looks nice! its do-able for sure, you might wanna run a 195/45 though.

 

ahh that's cool. I'm sure it will rub a lot huh? since like the offset is very wide?

 

depends what suspension you have? and you will need to roll your fenders.

 

agreed!^^ im going to try 15x10 +12 but im running camber and fenders rolled but it may work! :fingerscrossed:

 

god damn it, now i have to get 15x10's -_-

 

lol ill let you know if it works im going to do the test fit sometime this week hows your car coming along did you get the camber done yet??

 

it should fit.. im wondering if i can fit 15x8.25 +0 offset wheels lol

my fenders are rolled/pulled/trimmed

 

15x10?!? thats crazy wide! i wanna see!

 

well my suspension alone is
on Megan racing full coilovers. I have rolled my fenders and I do have a set of spc camber kits all around. I think I'm set aren't I?

I'd love to see that 15x10 setup! post pics!! =]

 

if ur not set with all that, then just play is as u go. make adjustments as u go... its all part of the game right? im starting to get into it...

 

just got home from getting my fenders rolled/pulled/cut no camber yet, im thinking 10mm spacers with -5 or so degrees? but for now i need to go MORE LOW! oh and i wanna have a skid plate made before i go any lower p.s. i have no rubbing at all!

 

do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I may end up rocking some 15x7 +10 instead.. =[

 

thats going to be about the same thing your just not going to be as wide

 

true, but the width is what I'm afraid of. I wonder if it'll be too wide and it may stick out too far. might look like a skate board.

 

you will stiil have some poke. but not too much thats due to the offset. your going lower offset so that means more poke with a smaller width rim so it wont look right. i mean it will look good but the wheel will be to skiny the wider the less you see the poke.

 

Okay Felix has x9+15(ish) I dont know the exact specs and haven't searched...
But he also has custom fenders and body work done. He did have 15x8 +15 Sportmaxx 501's and they poked quite a bit.

Nxfit-15x7+10 and 15x8.5 +10 are not even close to the same. 15x7 +10 are similar to my SSR Reverse Mesh and the 8.5 would be two inches wides. Not sure how that is the almost the same?? it would be way different

Good luck with 15x10....I've seen it on a car in Japan but they had custom ffenders and bodywork done as well. Plus they were on air, etc

 

hmm very educational. =]

 

So think of it this way when it says 0 offset that means the face/mounting hub of the wheel is exactly in the middle of the wheel. positive offset means the face is closer to the outer of the wheel where as negative is closer to the inner of the wheel.

So a 15x7 +13 (using this number as this is what I had previous) has about 115mm, about 4.5 inches of backspacing (the space between the mounting hub and the inner wheel edge) where my other wheels 17x8 +24 have about 139mm, about 5 inches of backspacing. Therefore the 15x7 +13 defitenly poked more then the 17x8 +24.
But lets change the wheel offset so its exactly the same but different width rims.
a 17x8 +13 has 128mm of backspacing so still 13mm difference. which means that the wheel will stick out about 13mm more than the x7 wheel.
