Sport Tires on Aftermarket Rims (possible?)
Sport Tires on Aftermarket Rims (possible?)
Hello Everyone!
I'm new to the forum and I needed some clarification on this subject. I just recently purchased Rota GT3's (15 x 7 +40) and I have been waiting to get a new set of tires so that I can mount them. Due to the fact that I'm impatient
I started to rationalize putting the stock sport tires on my GT3's. From looking at both the wheels, it looks possible:
-Sport rims are 15 x 6 and I'm going to 15 x 7.
-Offset on stock is +55 and the GT3's are +40.
-No plans to auto-x (This is my DD and kid hauler!)
-Tires (and car) are practically brand new (6000mi)
I will be also lowered on Tanabe GF210's. (Not so good for the kids but oh well.
)
Does this looks like it will be ok or am I missing anything? Any issues with the +15 difference in offset?
I tried searching and I came up with this but I wasn't convinced. If you have any other links please pm me and let me know since I'm sure this has been covered before...I'm just not using the right keywords.
