Help Needed - Wheel Fitment Question!

Hi guys,

So I may be switching up the wheels on my 2012 Sport and had a question in regards to fitment for a 15" wheel setup. I'm pretty sure I would be safe for proper fitment in the rear but I'm not to sure about the front..

The setup's I'm thinking are:

1.) 15x7 +35 Offset (All Around)
2.) 15x7 +38 Offset (All Around)

Tire size may be 205/50/15

So do you guys think these setup's will fit both front and rear without sticking out past the fenders?..or at least be flush/tucked in a bit?

As long as they dont stick out I would be happy!

Any insight on this would be appreciated..even pics if any!

Thanks in advance!

Here is a useful calculator Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

There are several user's on here running 15's, FitDEEZ is one example https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ssm-ge8-2.html

"15X8 tires are 195/50 F"

15's on a GE seem to work as long as the car is VERY low, at least aesthetically speaking...

Either of your options should work, depending on how low you are, and the difference between +35 and +38 is not HUGE. If your going to run the meatier 205 and are low, I'd go +38 to be safe

Thanks for your help man! I'm using the eibach pro-kit so its pretty low but not slammed. I'm looking at these 15" wheel options because all the styles I seem to find that I really like are in 15" lol. As you know the Sports run 16's.

Based on Fitdeez above specs and pics..he's running .5 more width and offset is lower so realistically these options should fit and not stick out..
