hey -- i have 4 205/55/R15 Falken Ziex tires on rota C8's, two have been driven on about 1000 miles, on the rear, when they were on GSR rims. i used to have steelies on the front. here's the problem. on my C8's, with these tires on the car, my front rims are sticking out about an inch from the body work. this is without a motor in the car. i don't know if i have the wrong offset, because i don't know what offset i have. if anyone has some Michelin GSR tires or any other 195/50/R15's, let me know. again, the rears have about a 1000 miles and the fronts are new. 0 miles. i might be willing to throw in 2 GSR rims (the older 5 spoke) as well. thanks. steve.

 

You have the right offset, but wrong size tires...should have gotten a 195 with a 45 or 50 series or 205 with 45 or 50 series tires. 205 is a bit wide and 55 series is too tall...

just my .02 cents

 

i hear you on the over sized tires! right now i could go offroading with these meats. on the front, they don't clear my fenders! looks like a drag car!

 

lol...
