Car Tweaker

i have a 92 hatchback and i plan on getting some sportmax 002 15x8 rims, but what i wanna kno is will i run into any problems running a 8 inch wide rim?

It will depend on the offset. But they will probably stick out, i would think

I hope this will help.

i dont understand really what offset is and how it would cause problems (i googles some info already and still dont understand)

hope this helps

so basicly all i have to worry about is the outside of the tire hitting the top of the fender on bumps if the rim sticks out to much? but if my car is high enough i should be fine?

bump

But if your car sits too high it looks retarded IMO.
Just take a gander in wheel and tire section
good luck i hope you find what your looking for

if you get a x8 rim i hope the offset is higher than 45..

you should be fine if your car sits higher..it will look ok if the tire is in line with the fender..but if it sticks out..i don't know..but it will not look good IMHO..

theres a few civics round here with 15x8 on em.. +25 though... i feel thats the best to have in a 8 wide rim..

heres for reference..

that looks awful, see how far the wheel lip sticks out due to the tire width?

thats the best part

the best part is running a 195 tire on a 15x8 rim where you can run a 205 on a smaller rim?

you mean the best part for show right? not function.

I agree. That looks like ****. Im just waiting for the hub spacers and some curb feelers on that thing. Don't get me wrong the Work Equips are sexy, but that whole combo doesnt look right at all on the civic. Should just swap it out for some Daytons.

only problems you will run into are rolling your fenders, and shorter turning radius. With proper suspension setup and a little bit of fab work it will work like a charm... my silver hatch is in that thread

its called stretching tires, and that stretch is barely anything, it looks much better in real life

i have plenty of stretch on my setup 15x8 195/50/15

you also have plenty of wheel gap

The biggest size would only be a 17" rim!
