Default will it rub?

im thinking of getting gram light 57pro for my ej1.. i plan on 15x6.5 with a +35 offset.. with a 1 finger gap on 195/55 will this rub? or do i have to get a +45

what about 205/50?

TIA

It shouldn't just as long as you have suitable suspension.

The 205/50 is going to depend on what tire it is IMO. My Azenis had a huge sidewall and were a lot closer to rubbing than my Ziex 512s.

basically i dont want the spokes to stick out 2 much on the rim and look ugly, and i dont want to rub...i take it azenis will be out bc isnt it like 217mm instead of 205; so basically i guess 512s for tires.. im not planning on putting this on until i get better suspension (probably koni/gc)

what about the 15x7.5 they make..would that be too wide with any offset?

7.5s are going to be pushing it IMO. HT user Rodney ran 8 or 9 inch fronts and he had a custom fiberglass front end that was way wider than normal.

512s are great tires.

okay i will prolly stick with 6.5..i do not want to flare or have a custom wide fender...one last nagging question would +25 be out of the question for 6.5" (with 195/55 512)

thanks for ur answers
