IMO, i'd get 195*50*15. i run a +32 and i still rub sometimes, and im using 195s. HTH

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with the 195/50s although you might get away with 205s. Depends on the tire too though. Some tires (like Azenis) are a little wider than they advertise.

Yes, 43mm would be better. I'm running the 15x7 43 offset TE-37's with 205/50 15 w/o and issues. Although I did bend the flanges for my 225/45 race tires.

Are those FastBrakes Wilwood kit under those TE37's? If so do they need wheel spacers? Because I heard that kit under 15" Regamaster/Spoon you have to have spacers, and I would rather have TE's.

It's a kit I got from SMC Products before Brian had his Fastbrakes kit finished(i'm a 'lil impatient, I guess-sorry Brian...). 11.5" rotor. I had to shave about a 3/32-1/8" off of the corners of the calipers to clear some K1's I had. I had a technician on the phone, and he said that's about a far as I could go before becoming too close to the fluid crossover in the caliper(internal on the billet dynalite). I do have the Fastbrakes 11.5" kit in the back.

+45 is what factory rims are if that helps...

I would go with 45
i have 42 and i have a little rubbing.
