Default 7.5" wheels w/ 225 on eg?

Is it possible to fit a 15x7.5" wheel with a +40 offset on an eg w/o rub? and if so would a 225 be best or maybe a 235?

you would rub a hole in a 225 a big one..

i would go with 195 stretched over a 15x7" 35 high ...no traction

NOT 225/15x7.5/

but you need some camber at that and even then ur still krazy

im running 205s on a 6.5 at the moment, and still noooo traction. would a 7" with a 225 rub? or is every 225 going to rub regardless of wheel size? but a 195 is definately too small...

I have an h22a hatch ej5/eg 190whp with 6.5 integra mesh wheels and 225/50/15 drag radial ..perfect traction 95% of the time! no chirps at second or third haha!

if i were u i would just buy some 225 drag radials and call it quits cuz u wont be unhappy ..unless u pop an axle out with ur beef

and ya turning the wheel completely a full turn causes rub with a 225/50/15x6.5 wide wheel but im dropped a couple inches... just go straight its all good haha
