since everyone loves showing pics of thier r's and I need some 15x7.5 wheels maybe 8's, I thought you guys could help me decide on a brand. Specs and tire size would be great also. Thanks!

 

Why not 16x8? I have some nice silver EVOs for sale in that size.

 

I wouldn't recommend 15x8 wheels unless you're getting 225 treadwidth tires. Those are too wide for the normal 195/55-15 and 205/50-15 size tires for the car.

No issues at all with 16x8 42+ 225/40/16's in the front here.

Probaly easily with enough camber.

 

ran a 225 50 15 v710 on a 15X8 with 38 offset, on my RS integra
tires were a tiny bit on the tall side, but my car isnt retarded low like msot everyones here, the rear tires touched the rear trailing arm a tiny bit, so i used a 3mm spacer front and rear. also need to roll the rear 1/4's a bit to fit em. in the front I hacked a bit of the fender liner up on the outer edge, and had to bash the inner fender seam because under braking it would bit the tire on turn in

its too bad you still cant get a 949 racing 6ul in 5x114.3

edit: forgot to mention, -2.75 degree camber up front and -1.75 rear

I also didn't know 949 stoped making those, that was going to be my backup plan

+35...you're gonna need a lot of negative camber to make those work.

i dont know if they ever made a 5x114.3
and sorry i dont think i have any pics of the setup as i only ran it once.

 

bringing this back up from the dead cause I plan on getting a 15x7 or a 15x8 with 225/50 tires for the track. i already plan on rolling my fenders and i heard an aftermarket rear camber kit will help clear the tires compared to the oem upper arm. what offsets should i be looking at? and any other tips? thanks!

 

16x8 +32 here w/ RT-615's 215/45/16

thanks for not helping at all with your irrelevant posting

 

15x7.5 +30 shod with 205/50R15 RT615s

needless to say, the outer fender liner didn't last

 

H4WT fuko

 

fuko, how bad is the rubbing?

The thread is asking for <U>15</U>"x7.5 or 8" wide. What you posted does not pertain.

</u>Really?</u> because.... wheel fitment really differs that much?

If you think about it... If I can run a <u>16x8 +32</u> w/ 215's square with no problems.

You can run a 15x8 down to a 25-28 offset if you want aggressive fitment with out problems.


btw.. what you posted really did pertain to the subject.

same size rims front and rear?

 

no the rears were 15x7 +35
