15x8.0 +25 thoughts

Found a great deal on some wheels from a local shop in SD, but I'm not sure how the size will look on the GE.
They are a 15x8.0 +25 BBS RS knock off.
$550.00 with tires included.
I'll be dropped on buddy clubs.
Any thoughts?

Roll and pull the rear fenders, camber bolts up front maxed to -2, go as low as you can until coils are maxed out remove collars and perch for maximum slammage, get an alignment.

Post some pics bro once you put them on, but you will for sure need to roll and pull the rear.

TE37V + GE8 = - Honda-Tech

I was already thinking that. The set comes with 195/50/15 tires. I'll probably use those to start, but any ideas on a better tire size?

And hopefully this should all be done by early march. Excited for things to come!

That should be good, I would see how it looks and you can always change out the tires to dial in the setup

Going to look good

Possible but will need a good roll. Here is what a 15x8 +25 looked on a test fit on my Fit. This was with a 195 50 15 tire.

Thanks for the reply. I've since installed my wheels and tires and I'm just waiting on a pull. I'm lowered a decent height right now and I only rub when taking a dip fast, but I'm going lower soon. Camber kit is here and just a needs an install and adjustment. Hopefully be all set in the next couple weeks.
