just curious on what rim and off set everyone is running for a 235/60-15? i have a 92 hatch and im putting some mickey thompson et radials under it but im not sure what rim i need to get that is gonna fit. m/t is calling for a 8" rim but can you run a 7"?

 

any help would be great

 

up

 

i think a 7 would bubble out too much and not give you the contact patch you are trying to get with a tire that wide.

i have 15 x 8's with a 4.5 off set on mine with a .5 spacer from bogart and they work great.

you may be able to get away with a 7.5 width wheel. but i think a 7 wouldnt be wide enough.

is there any other wheel?

 

weld magnums........speedy wheels......are you goin with 15's then lenso's are out of the question, but if you are looking for a light wheel, you will have to pay.

I have no clue on the backspacing but I know some Honda's run them so they should know.

dont happen to know who do ya????

 

i have a set of the diamond "ministock" 13x8 with 4x100 pattern. they will lay a 22x8x13 slicks' tread pattern perfectly flat so im very happy with the width, but mine stick out pretty far.. i dont have them in front of me so im not sure on the spacing, but id say the tire is sticking 4-5 inches out of stock sheetmetal.

i just got a monster lathe that will chuck the rims so im gonna machine the weld and flip the centers around to tuck them under the fenders i think

 

ive got some 13" slicks on some bogarts with 24.5 tall tires on it, they do fine but with 15's on it im still not sure on the off set

 

What all are you guys doing to fit the MT's. I'd really like to try and fit some 235/60/15's MT ET street radials, So I can run in the street legal class at one of the local tracks. The car I'm gettin has adj. coilovers. So I'm sure I can get the car up high enough to clear. I guess I'm in the same boat of back spacing on a set of wheels and any other tips or tricks to make them fit. Thanks guys.

long studs and spacers should help you get them on there
