Default 15x8 rims... what will i need??

im looking into some 15x8 xxr 002's and i was wondering if ill need to do anything. like rolling fenders etc. ive been reading about all these low offsets and it seems like the only way to make them fit is to have negative camber and rolled fenders? is this true? and what size tires will i need? i like the stretched tire look but i dont really want to do it. i'm not lowered currently but soon i'll be getting dropzone shocks/coilovers. going down probably 2.5". btw its a 95 del sol that these would be going on. thanks for the help....

I have 16x7 with 37 offset and those rubbed in the rear really bad. I rolled them with a heat gun and wooden baseball bat and everything fits perfect now.

you are going to need a camber kit, some 195/50 tires, and minor fender rolling.

i got the same wheels, you going to need camber kit front and back and set it to negative camber. just set it till the tires not rub on the finders or you can have some rubbing because i do.
like ek9!der said 195/50 tires

What you will need is to say what offset your going to be running. You cannot be given information for help when you haven't even stated an offset.

Also, forget about the dropzone combo. Dropzone is complete garbage, save a bit and buy something that will last.

Eh +15 is pretty low. Youll need to roll and maybe pull fenders depending on the camber. Never stretch tires. Maybe if its a show only car thats not driven.
