You sure about that? I'm running a 15x8 +40 with a 225 R1R on a DC2. It wouldn't fit with the wheel moved over an inch further outboard without running a really wonky alignment.

Well, the 15x8+20 are on their way.. selling the good ol BuddyClub SF's.. will update this tread soon enough

Can't wait to see pics, hopefully, the 15x7.5 will be on my porch next week.

Definitely share pics. I was one step away from ordering from their GA warehouse last night. Figured I'd better not put the cart b4 the horse considering I still have fabrication work and tuning to do!

If I ever was desperate and needed to sell my volks I would totally get a set of these

Spitfire8o5

That makes two of us.. I know I have to roll front and rear.. my current are 15x6.5+40 I think or so its going to be a pretty big difference hahaha

Spitfire8o5

Hahaha I hear ya man, wheels are no good if your car still needs work..

JGallamore

Hopefully I got my order in on time, they said they had alot of pre orders for the 15x7.5. But werent sure how many sets they were getting in.

Nope not sure at all j/m with ya. look threw my build thead you can see the pictures of it front was running that offset with the rear 15x8 +36... But I have moved on to something bigger, 17x9 +20 on all 4. I will post up pics in my build thread but only the rear had to get rolled and pulled a bit to make it work other than that the fronts still are not touched

Interesting. I'll have to see how mine looks once I put the stock front fenders back on. 15x8 +36 on the rear wouldn't be a problem, still don't see how your getting a 9" wide +20 wheel to fit back there though. I haven't run stock camber in years though, so maybe with more camber it is much easier. I'm also used to using some really wide 205 tires.

JGallamore

got in my 15x7.5 +42 wheels with 205 kumho XS (was getting star specs, but they went on backorder while I was waiting on the wheels.)



TireRack was not to keen on sending me these in the first place.







They fit well, plenty of clearance up front. Came with aluminum hubcentric rings, i was expecting plastic so that was a nice surprise. My only concern is the rear upper control arm, it is REALLY close to the inner lip of the wheel, would guess 1/8th to 1/4 inch MAX of clearance. And its just the lip on the outer edge of the UCA. Should be ok? do I need to introduce the UCA to Mr. Grinder? It wont be a problem if I go with a rear camber kit. Circled in red is what im contemplating grinding off. When I upgrade to 225s im almost positive 6mm spacers/extended studs will be needed all the way around, and clearance shouldnt be an issue.

^^^ why would you get +42's ?????? why not get something with more offset and give your car a wider stance???

JGallamore

Because + 42s fit. The +20 require machining out the bore of the wheel which I was not comfy with. Most guys run 15x8 +36 on the 6ULs so they sit out 6mm or 1/4 inch further on each side compared to this setup. 12mm or less than .5 inch of total track width is IMO negligible. Assuming my calculations are correct.

jserman

I don't know why you think you need to machine out the bore... They bolted right up to my integra... I would think civic and integra would be the same...

njn63

The only ones I know of that require machining the bore is the C1M's (15x7 +30). That is because they were made for the Miata.

I did... 7 20-minute sessions on my TR C1M's this weekend. They worked like they should.

JGallamore

I re-read and thought you said the Miata fitment, +30 are the ones you need to machine out. As for my decision to not do the +20, I just don't want to deal with an offset that low, and what issues may have come up, as far as bending sheet metal.

jserman

Gotcha I got worried for a minute and was thinking my wheels weren't on my car right i had to go double check...

well as long as your happy.. all i had to do was role my rear fenders and remove my front fender liners and I am good.. I also like the +20 cause the seem to be more concave then the others..

typeR_s

i have no issues
F 15x8 +20/ -3.2 camber
R 15x7 +25/ -2.8 camber
Nothing rolled or pulled
205/50 re11's all around

Slopoke

Whoops, sorry I missed this post.
Yes they are 15x8 +20 offset.
The fronts are 225/45/15 Nt-01s.
I dont have front or rear camber kits.

dbang003

cool...looking to run the same setup, but maybe 225's in the rear also. i have camber adjustment and will pull/roll/space as needed. just not sure yet.

these arrived yesterday :-)

JGallamore

Looking good! Glad to see alot more people are running these wheels now Lets just hope they dont shoot up in price. Whole reason I went with these over the 6ULs is the fact if I bend one im only out $99 instead of $160.


EDIT: I just realized something, when you guys ordered your wheels were center caps included???? Cause I didnt get any

No biggie, my buddy ended up warping his on his TRM wheels for his M3 after his 2nd TT session after he got the wheels. But I think his brakes get a little hotter then the ones on my lil hatchback.

EDIT 2: Called and my center caps are OTW, should have been included with the wheels

jserman

His is picture of mine... 15x8 +20 with 205/50's

This is not my DD height I have a local car show this weekend so I dropped her down a bit

my normal height is about 1in higher that I DD with no issues all I have is my fenders rolled.

I picked up a set of 15x7.5s with 225/45 Hankook RS3s from Tirerack's Midway warehouse yesterday. I will post some pictures when I install them on my car.

dbang003

JGallamore
