Found some wheels yesterday that I've been looking for a LONG time. Just need some of your thoughts. This is the set-up I've had on the car now for 2 years and no problems. Rota slip's 16x7, 40mm offset, -1.75 degree front camber, -1 degree rear camber. 215/45/16 azenis with no rubbing.

Here is the wheel I found, 3 wheels, black factory spoke polished lip, one is silver but will refinish to match the other 3. Sorry for the e-bay link but it the only copy I've found. Also a 15x7/4x100 bolt pattern/24m offset, not the 5 lug in the picture.

With my calculations, 40mm offset is 1.57" from center of the wheel. Now 24mm offset is .97" front center and there is only .63" difference between the two. Alittle over 1/2". Plan on running the new falkens 205/50/15 or going mad crazy with the 225/50/15 and fender mods. Has anyone played around with this these kind of #'s?

Have this also in the EG forum but thought I'd try it here.

 

One bump and I'll leave it alone.

 

If you go higher than 205 on a 15" tire you'll probably need to drop down to a 45 aspect ratio, i.e. 225/45-15. Anything bigger will look like balloon tires and make acceleration slower.

 

Falken is only making the new RT-615's in a 205/50/15 or a 225/50/15. There's a article in this months sport compact magazine on a k20 eg6. He's running 225/50/15 Toyo RA-1's and it looks ok. But he is also running a 35mm offset due to these being 24mm.

 

Are you locked into using that particular tire for some reason? I would want to try to find a 225/45-15 tire if I were going to use something that wide on a 15" wheel.

 

Ya, kinda. Run the azenis for the last 2 years for summer rubber and auto-x. They are the softest and do not go below the 140 tread rating for the class i run in. Very good tire for the price. Want to run a 15" instead of the 16".
