Stencil and spray paint has worked for just about every pro racing tire that I've ever bothered to look closely at.

most after market rims are tapered seats.

If you're worried about it because of loading the studs vs the hub, I'd suggest ARP studs, but in most cases, if you know how to properly torque your nuts, you're not going to have an issue.

Do you have to notch the rear camber arm to fit the 15x7.5 on an eg civic coupe? Also since it seems like you do on a 8" wide, why is that? Is it cause of the inner styling of the wheel?, or cause its 8" wide?

Reason I'm asking is cause I was looking at getting these or drag dr54, the dr 54's are 8.25" wide so idk if I will have to the same grinding of the rear camber arm to make the dr54's work. Thanks for any info guys.

Nothing wrong with 7's - less weight and I think the 7's and 7.5's have always been gen 3, so less prone to cracks.

x7 have always been gen 3 i know for a fact. no clue about 7.5. There is a good weight difference from 7-8. I just cant wait to get them on the track and try them out with the 205s!

I've known several people to hit the track with 205/50 R15 ZII's. Nothing but good things heard about them.

Ready to order a set of 7.5 bronze (all that's available right now) for my CRX and have 2 questions:

1) Will I have any issues with rubbing with the 15x7.5 offset 42?
2) I'm being offered hubcentric rings but was told they are only necessary if I track the car which I will NOT be doing so should I pass on them?

Thanks!

Really looking to ording a set of these, but they only have 15x7/7.5. Really want x8 but these with x7 look just as mean as the x8s one here. 0o

When I tried putting my 7.5 (with 205/50/15 BFG Rivals) on my '88 CRX Si, the tire rubbed the rear lower control arm. You can probably space them out a little but then I don't know if you might run into fender lip rubbing issues.
