i was wondering if wheels 15 x 7 ET20 will fit without rubbin the car?

 

not without a ton of fender modification

 

My buddy bought his CRX with aftermarket wheels...it had +25mm offset 15s in the rear with 195-50-15 tires. It supposedly didn't rub in the rear. Don't know about the front though.

The answer is pretty much "no." Those would stick out almost as far as my 13x8 +25 autocross wheels, which means the tires will be running into the fenders unless you're at stock ride height with very stiff springs, and/or have some very flared fenders.

 

If you're using them for daily driving, you may notice a lot of harsh pulling over road irregularities.

I ran BMW E30 14X6.5 which I were something like 30-35 offset

Took em right off.

 

thanks

Highly doubt it didn't rub, in fact I would bet $$ it rubbed both front and rear.
On a CRX, or whatever FWD HOnda you really need a +35 or higher to fit with NO modifications

for a 6.5-7in wide wheel.

Yep. My 15x7" Rotas are +40 and they fit just right on the CRX with 205/50 Azenis.

You lose $$.
The fronts were regular offset, certain there was no rubbing there.
He said they didn't rub...they were very high dollar Momo wheels circa 1990.
The fronts were regular and the rears had a wider/deep dish to mimic a RWD look.
The guy had two sets, one chrome and one regular satin...someone spent a wad of money.
If its any help, the tires were looked tiny for a 195-50-15. May have even been a 45 sidewall.

 

You will be fine, I'm running 16x7 with 205/40/16, and have no problems what so ever. Put them on, and go!

what the hell does that have to do with his question?

15x7 et20 will stick out past the stock fenders about half an inch...

It will not be 1/2 inch, and how do know if you have'nt run this setup yourself? A little angery are we?

Considering you didn't list your offset, your "evidence" is rather irrelevent.

That means nothing. He isn't asking if a 15X7 with a 195/50-15 will work. The key problem is the +20 offset. A +20 is too low of an offset and will stick out both front and rear. The car would squat on top of the tires, no tuck, on top of the tire. Even if the car was lowerd to creat negative camber, it would still scrub the tires, just more to the sidewall

Well, for one, you didn't say the front was a "regular" offset, which by "regular I assume you mean a 35mm or higher; which would not scrub.
He "said" they didn't rub. Did you physically drive or ride in the car, (because the rear will rub) or are you just going by what he said. Doesn't matter if it were Momo, Lexani or Rota, a +20 is a +20 no matter who manufactures it.

Here's a DA with a 15X7 +20

CRX is smaller, and would be worse. So yes, it will rub, not saying its not a "fixable" problem. But to answer your question...no

yeah- irrelevant misinformation doesn't help anyone.

i know because i can do math, and i know exactly how far a 13x8 et20 sticks out.

1/2in.

and tell me again what "setups" i've run in the 9 years i've owned and raced a crx?

I specifically mentioned the rear...twice. Nothing about the front, you assumed the front was the same. Anyway, again, I'm just going on what he said. It could have rubbed like a cat in heat. I think its pretty clear he should be sticking with an offset closer to whats recommended.

Not even trying to make a debate, but there is what you stated. You don't know about the front, meaning it sould or could not be the same. On a FWD car it would only make sense to be the same, so yes, I assumed it was the same since you didn't say it was any different.

Right, you don't know, you can only go by what he/she said...which would usually be "No it doesn't rub" even though it probably does rub like "a cat in heat".
I run a rather large wheel/tire shop and have customers come in all the time saying theire car doesn't rub/scrub. Sometimes I'll even ask them twice (when I know from looking at it it is rubbing), they still say no. I personally pull the car around to a bay then and I am sure to crank the wheel as far as it goes, and what do you know; some even scrub to a point to where the car won't even move.

 

lol...okay, since we're splitting hairs. When I said I don't know about the front, I meant the +25mm placed on the front.

For the record, I believe you.

That guy out of New Orleans also has a RWD 280z with a RWD wheel that fit with no modifications.
