Default Lowered EG - need offset help

have a eg with no camber kits or rolled fenders. lowered on h&r race so approximatly around 2.25 drop. most i would do is probably roll fenders. wondering if 15x7 et10 would fit or should i go like a 15x7 et20. what modification would i need to do to make these fit

15x7 with 30-35 offset and you will be good. You will probably have to roll your fenders some but that is a very simple task. I had to roll my fenders and I have fat fives with 205/50/15 on my hatch with zero wheel gap, maybe tucking a hair. You might get away with 15x7 +25 if your running a smaller tire like a 185. I have traction issues with having a gsr swap so I needed the widest possible tire that would fit fat fives.

FYI, it's probably more cost-effective to get stickier tires than going for a wider tire

I am running Dunlop Direzza's Z1 star specs and they stick pretty well IMO!!!

+10 offset is going to be too low for you. If you roll your fenders you can run a +20-+25 but without rolled +30 will be the most. If you roll fenders and get a camber kit you shouldn't have a problem with the +10.
