Just got my Azenis in yesterday and I had intended on mounting them on the stock ITR wheels. I've decided to go with a slightly wider rim, the Slipstreams, for use with the Azenis. My car is lowered on H&R Sport/Bilstein Sport(1.5"F; 1.3"R). The 15" Rota's only come in a 40mm offset, I believe. With this offset and the increased width of the Azenis, will I have problems with rubbing???

Thanks,
Chris

 

I am going out to the bar later on too, same question.
oh wait... tire rubbing?
you might. the Azenis are beefity wide indeed. you may need to 'fix' th etab at the top of the inside of the wheel well or you will rub off the plastic screws head if you do rub. better to bend that up and in before you have a problem. you can do it with your bare hands too. piece of cake

 

Thanks.

Can anybody confirm that the 15" Slipstreams are only available in a +40mm off-set?

 

lol it just looks funny.

sakk- who hopes his slips don't rub on the new susp.

 

My car (stock hight, stock wheels) has signs of 'slight rubbing' on the rear lower arms.
No paint removed... just a nice clean spot that has been polished by the inside of the tire.

Yeah, i guess that doesn't sound/look to good. Should've re-worded that. Perhaps "chafing" would have been a better word?

 

LoL

chaffage=bad

 

Heh.. my 'used' kumho's rubbed on my stock 15" rim. When I had 16" spoons and a520's they didn't rub at all. I'm confused. Kumho's are 195/55... I guess im just lowered too much.

 

I have the exact same setup with the Azenis and Custom GC/Bilsteins. No rubbing

 

Erick,

You've got the Slipstreams? How much are you lowered?

Chris

 

I experienced some rubbing in my old celica, but never in the Integra .. I don't even eat in the R

 

I have the same lowering springs with stock struts and Kosei's w/ 38mm offset w/ Azenis and mine doesn't rub at all.

 

good news!
