Default kosei K1 w/ 38 offset work?

Sorry, did a search and couldn't find a definate answer if these are the correct offset to be using for a 98 R. So... k1's, 38mm offset, 205/50-15 tire... will this combo work on the R or will they touch the fender lip? if not 38 then what offset would work? thanks

also, any known clearance issues with the 15" k1? I know some Si's had problems with rear control arms touching the rims.

I think you need quite a bit of camber to make that combo work. Probably -2 or more to keep the tires tucked.

I run 43mm offset, though I do use a 5mm spacer in back, effectively bringing the offset to 38.

I have the K1s, but in 45 offset and have no clearance problems.
