EK hatch wheel fitment question
Ok, I'd like to start off saying sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I know there is a wheel and tire forum but i would get a reply faster here. Anyway, Got a 97 Hatch lowered on Tokico Illuminas and SPC Camber Kits. My current wheels are Konig Foil 15x7 +40mm offset nothing to aggressive and my tires are a 195/45R15 Toyo Proxes T1R. Now getting to the point.. i wanna get something in a 15X8 with at least a +25mm offset (+20mm preferred) not really trying to hellaflush my car just want a little stance to achieve that racecar/track car look since i got hoodpins and extend lugnuts. plus i wanna get just a little lower since my coils are as low as they can go. I dont mind rolling fenders and doing the alignment since i have everything to do it. So my question is what size wheel would work the best to achieve my goals? Also, if you have any wheel ideas for what i should get would very helpful. Thank You!

15x8 et20 will get you rolled and pulled fenders and negative camber. If you don't want to pull the fenders you can do what someone else did and literally hack the aftermarket camber arms to get even more camber.
Pretty common question people are asking. Should have Googled the info.

Re: EK hatch wheel fitment question
i think it looks ok as is..
i really hate the offset flush look people wanna go with...it's just a trend and bandwagon material to me...
looks functional now...and what you are looking at doing is going for a look and losing functionality

Thanks for the input guys!!!!!! I really appreciate it. Not trying to lose a whole lot function but mainly trying lose wheel gap from when I went from the 195/50s to the 195/45s

Re: EK hatch wheel fitment question
to make up for the tiny amount gap you got from tire size change doesn't warrant puttin different offset wheels on. why did you go from 195 50 to 45s?

Hood pins means racecar? Extended lug nuts with no extended studs means racecar? News to me.....

Crap, my race cars now need new lugs and hood pins since they are rocking the stock ones.
