^^^ Damn! I see what you mean now. Looks killer still. Thanks for the pics. Now I have an idea of how 9" et 0 sits on an ek. Did you get any rubbing up front when turning? That is my biggest concern.

Anyone know the best setup for an ek hatch to sit flush with some 15x8 +20 enkei 92s? Need suggestions on tire size to stretch and spacer widths. I was thinking 185/45 tires and maybe 20mm spacers?

Whats size tires were you running? Right now I'm at 195/50 front and 205/50 rear +20 all around. When I'm slammed the front grind on the fenders and the rear tires just stick out too much and rub, so i just lifted my car a bit for now. -_-

So I have the 15x9 grid v's. They look sick. Next step is tires. From what I see from the 15x9 949 6ul thread, 225/45or50/15 are the best bet for that width (without affecting performance). Does that sound about right? I'm looking for a tire with some beef and a minor pull on the sidewalls. Any suggestions?

Dang, where did you get those 175/50 tires? I live on guam and the tire choices here suck ***! Lowest profile tires i can get here are some nankang 185/45, but that would pretty much have the same tire stretch as 175/50 right?

It's a little hard to get them here also
I've never ran anything smaller then a 175/50
If u look online there like 280-320 shipped all 4

Hey guys, I'm thinking of running 15x8 +36 6ULs on a 6th gen Civic hatch with 205/50/15 tyres. Would this fit without poking or rolling guards? Would they rub? What about 225/45/15? What tyre size do you recommend without me having to roll fenders or having poke?
Also, what is the widest tyre width I can run on a hatch without having to roll fenders or have poke? Is 8" the widest you can go? I'm new to the whole fitment game so sorry if these are really basic questions, cheers!

Hey guys.
I got a 97 integra with slammed koni yellows and GC sleeves. Most likely camber is -3 degrees or more. Haven't done alignment yet since its winter.
I have rolled my rear quarters and front fender tabs when I ran 16x7 et+35
Was wondering if 15x8 et +15 will still be fine or will I have to roll some more front and back?
And what size tires can I run for a medium stretch?

TR Mortorsports C1, offset questions!
Ok, to start off...I know nothing about offset! Although, I really want these wheels and I know if any of you are like me...you want to be able to look at the top of the fender well and just barely see your wheels and tires.
I recently had a 95 coupe with LS Mesh Wheels on it. I liked them from a distance, but when I was right up on them they looked horrible. Just hiding all back in the wheel well. So, this time I am wanting something that looks mean. I talked to a guy at Tire Rack and he told me that the ones that he sells are +42 offset and they are basically stock.
So my question to you guys is, what offset would I need to buy to get my wheels sitting even with the fender wells? What size tire would you recommend? Is there going to be any issues with bearings if I get oversized wheels? I am investing a good bit of money in this car, and I want the wheels and tires to look as clean as the car looks/runs.
Forgot to mention, I have a 1992 Honda Civic LX 4dr 5spd now. This is the car these wheels will be going on.

Also what width and offset can make the fenders sit just in between the tire and rim?
See belowas an example (S/O to Ricky's Vdub and photo by jason hoang)

Re: // Tire Stretching and Low Offset Fitment Information Requests \\
the wheels that I am looking at are 15x7 +42 offset SPADAM, with a 195/50/15 tire! I want to get a little deeper wheel, which means wider tires...correct? I dont want to have to roll fenders, shave, pull, or have excessive camber. I want my car to have that stock feel, just the wheels be a little wider. I want to be able to autocross my car every other weekend, but still have that daily drivability...as this is my current family car, and its driven everyday! Any help would be great!
I have been looking into +36 offset wheels for the Miata, but I am not sure how much that will stick out or if it will even stick out at all?

You can't put bolt the Miata ones (C1M) directly on. The center holes need to be opened up a bit by machining.
A 7" +42 will fit fine without rubbing, 205/50/15 would be perfect for what you want to do with the car. The outer edge of the wheel will sit out about 18.27mm further than the wheels you currently have, and obviously the tire will be a bit wider and taller.
I think the setup you are looking for isn't really the type discussed in this thread, but here's one for the TR wheels:

I figured it wasnt, but this is where my post was moved to...so I figured it was the right thread. I really appreciate the input, that really helps man. I am not big into aftermarket wheels, I usually go for the OEM wheels. This one is going to be different, but I want it to still be functional as a DD and ride decent for my sons sake! Again, thanks for the input.

tire size for 15x8+0 on ek hatch
So i have researched a lot and have came across 195 45 15 with this set up and also 175 50 15. I was wondering if anybody has ran 175 50 15 in the front and 195 45 15 rear. is this a bad idea to run staggered sized tires on the same size rims? any info is appreciated, thanks.

Re: // Tire Stretching and Low Offset Fitment Information Requests \\
Look up at post #51 and #56. He also had staggered wheels but used the 175's up front with 195's in the rear.

I'm currently looking at getting the new remake of the enkei 92's and the specs for them are 15x8 +25 anyone know what size tires I should put? and also any pics would help. These will be going on my db7.
I really like how this sits and looking to try to get something like this with the fitment.
