So I am looking to buy some rota slipstreams, right now my suspension is stock, but eventually I will be going with fully adjustable coilovers.

I am interested in 15" wheels since right now my wheels are 14". I heard that the 15x6.5 won't rub when lowered, but the 15x7 will. Anyone know how low you need to be? I searched, everyone said they rubbed when lowered, but never said how low you need to be. I might just buy some 15x6.5s to play it safe.

Please let me know your expierences.

 

The size of your tires plays more of a role with rubbing than the wheel being 6.5 or 7". Either of these sizes with 205/50/15 tires should be fine.

 

Yeah I should have mentioned thats the size I want to run.

 

I agree with shutupskate said, choosing the right tires, and offset will play a big role in rubbing. Also your alignment will have a role in this too, you could always add some more negative camber to help "tuck" the rims in more to avoid rubbing. Also if you really wanted (not a good idea in my opinion) you can remove the fender liners.

But a 15x7 with like a 42ish offset and 195/55/15 size tires should do fine, unless your ridiculously slammed.

How much do you plan on lowering your car, once you get your suspension?

Edit - even with a 205/50 you should be ok.

I am not sure, I don't want to have issues with scraping anything and don't want a camber kit, so not very low. Just a modest drop.
