Ok.. I've searched, and found many opinions... just not the right one yet. I need to know which offset would be better(furthest from rubbing anywhere).
ITR
Factory Suspension
Factory Calipers
Ecsta V700 in 205/50/15
Kosei K1 15x7 in 38 or 45 offset???
I don't want to use spacers and definitely don't want to roll the fenders.
Any body have personal experience with this setup?
Thanks in advance.

And what does that tell me???

 

you fawing tard...

"I called Wheel Options and they actually said the K1s are discontinued."

 

What does that have to do with my question??

 

you'd think you guys were married

 

how can you be lovers if you can' can't be friends!!

 

LOL.... dammit somebody just answer the question... it's not fair..

 

+43 offset. I dont beleive they make a +45.

 

weird... that's what Warren said.. but my source said it was either 38 or 45.

 

Well I've been looking at a lot of wheels so maybe I have it confused with something else. Either way go with the +43 or +45. I think the +38 will pus the wheels farther out and you may run into trouble with the fender lips. I run 16x7 with +45 and works great.

 

I use K1 in +43 with 205-50-15 V700

No problems at all.. looks nice.

I think the 38 would stick out too far.

 

I called The Tire Rack yesterday asking about the K1's. They told me that they had some 15x7, 4x100, 45mm offsets in stock in white and silver. And the "new" K1's were comming in Aug. with a 38mm offset. He said the 45mm were to be discontinued.

I have the same question. My current 15x7's are a 42mm offset and I just clear the fender with my 205-50-15 Azenis. I think I would need to role the fender to run the 38mm offset, but the wider stance would be nice.

not on your wheel bearings.

 

I run the +45 with no problems.

 

Thanks guys... even though I have factory suspension, it looks like the 45s would be the way to go.

 

a little late... but i run 225/50 victoracers on +45 offset k-1's. 15x7s

 

cool... on an accord, right?

 

Just keep in mind that you won't be able to move up to a 225 with these wheels. At least not Hoosiers (Don't know about Kumhos).

With the 38mm offset the 225 tire barely clears the rear trailing arm. It actually touches it just enough to buzz the coating off the arm, but not do any damage to the tire.
Personally, I'd get the 38mm and roll the rear fenders a little bit. You won't need much for the 205 tire.

 

yes. 96 coupe
