larger than 195/45/15 w/ low offset wheels on ef??
most of what ive seen on here with low offsets is 195/45/15's, jw if anyone is running anything wider, or taller. maybe 215 45 or 205 50's. i guess between 25 and 15 offsets??? i bought some 195/45s for now untill i can figure out how much room i will have with my 15x8 25offsets, and i have some 10mm spacers laying around to stick it out a little more.
damn dude your crazy to be running spacers on rims with that much offset. my 15x8s already stick out a little tiny bit. id say no spacers and run a mild stretch. but if your trying to make fast turns run the recommended tire width for a 8inch rim. which i believe is 215. ima try to use 205 but i need to see pictures of it.
well i just mounted my 195 45s today at work and its barely stretched even a little. i dont think its crazy, itl just stick out alot haha. im going to try it with the spacers first then if i cant get them in the fenders ill take them off. just waiting on my coilovers to get here and i can sit the car back on the ground.
Those tires should NOT be mounted on 15x8 rims. The rims are TOO WIDE for tires that size. 195/45-15 is usually only approved for mounting on rims 6.0-7.5 inches wide. Mounting them on 15x8 rims is UNSAFE because heat and stress can build up in the sidewalls, leading to the tire popping the bead or a sidewall failure. DON'T DO IT.
