Default I need clairity on The offset for 15" kosei k-1s

I did a search , but it seemed that everyone in that thread had their own opinion..


what offset should I run on

a) 15" kosei k-1
b) 16" Kosei k-1

They are being put on a 99 hatch

Also Tire size recommended would be nice too

thanks in advance

Personally, I would go with the 40something offset. A higher offset just gives you more flexibilty. If you experience rubbing (on the inside) you can always buy spacers to move them out a few mm. With the 38ish offset, all you can do is roll or pull out the fender which is just a pain.

You should also mention what size tires you plan to run and what you're doing with the car. Running 205's on the street is much different from trying to run 225 Hoosiers on the track.

I am running 16x7.5 43 offset Kosei K1s w/ 205/45/16 and had to shave literally 1mm off the rear control arms to fit...not a big deal but probably should have just gotten 5mm spacers.
