I was wondering if ssr ms1 R (fronts)15x7 +45 and (rears) 15x8 +38 would be flush, or atleast fit good on a 01 gsr? also if it does, what tire sizes would be good? im looking for a bit of stretch but not too much. and im thinking about pulling if i need to. thanks

p.s i know 15 is really small, but i dont think they have 16 or 17 for 4x100

 

the fronts wont be flush. the rears will be kinda flush but u might run into problem with hitting your coilovers or chasis because of the width + offset

 

will the fronts be sticking out too much? i was looking through the SSR website and i found out they do have 17 inch for those wheels but it says 4x98? but on the bottom it says "STANDARD PCD: 4/100". But will 17x7.5 +43 and 17x8.5 +37?

 

help?

 

15x8 doesn't work on a GS-R. The tire size you need is either 205/50-15 or 195/55-15, and 15x8 is too wide to mount either of those tire sizes.

Similarly, if you get 17" wheels, 17x8.5 is too wide to mount the 205/40-17 tires you'll need.

 

well i was thinking about doing a stretch on the tires. and would 17x8 work? maybe with a 5mm spacer to just clear the chassis/coilovers? because i want this thing really flush. and i am considering a roll and pull to get them on perfectly.

 

Don't. It's UNSAFE.

Yes. 205/40-17 tires are usually approved for rims 7.0-8.0 inches wide.

You can get spacers to push the wheel/tire out away from the car. I recommend getting the thicker ones with a lip to maintain the hubcentricity of the wheel. If you only use those flat metal plates, they push the wheel out past the hub, so it relies only on the lugs for centering the wheel, which makes it easy for vibrations to develop.

Also, you need to have at least 6 (7 is better) full turns on the lug nuts. You will probably need to get extended studs and open-ended lug nuts to achieve this.

 

could you link me to those spacers your talking about? not the flat ones but the ones with a lip.

any recommended offset for the fronts to make the flush? 17x7.5 +45?

 

These.

 

Hmm, I'm still unclear on this as well. I'm trying to run a sick offset. I was thinking 16x8 0mm or 16x7 +10mm offset. I don't want insane camber to fit them. I don't mind a little but I dont want a stupid amount of negative camber. I want them to be nice and flush. Fully rolled and pulled fenders are already being worked. Kinda looking because I'm about to order my wheels because it takes 3 months for them to ship.

 

16x7 +20 will be just about as low as you can fit with proper sized tires, rolled fenders, and minimum camber.

 

Yea, someone recommended 16x8 +15 offset which would put me flush with no spacers. They said I'd have to stretch a little and very little camber with rolled fenders.

 

how low would it be? would i be able to put a front lip on and be daily driver-able?

 

That "someone" is giving you bad advice. Stretching tires onto wheels wider than approved for the tire is UNSAFE. Don't do it!

If this is for an Integra, the best 16" tire sizes for your car are 205/45-16 and 215/45-16. If the car is lowered, you'll probably want to use 205/45 and not 215/45. You have more choices of tires in 205/45 than 215/45.

205/45-16 tires are usually approved for rims 6.5-7.5" wide. 215/45-16 tires are usually approved for 7.0-8.0". If you get 16x8, you will be limiting yourself to 215/45-16 tires. 16x7 will give you the flexibility to use either of these tire sizes.
