i have a staggered set of xxr 513s on my eg hatch

the rears are 15x8 0 offset
they fit (and i mean fiit) in the back with slightly too much camber, fenders rolled and slightly pulled.

i cant imagine them fitting on the front at all.

my fronts are 15x7 +15 and theyre pretty close to flush w/ fenders with just a roll.
honestly they probably poke a little bit



15x8 0 offset on the front of an eg isnt going to fly i dont think. correct me if im wrong anyone thats fitted it before

Your gunna need a whole lot of camber for the front, its gunna look pretty stupid though. I gotta see pics to believe your pinch welds are 1 and 1/8th inchs off the ground, if they are that means your exhaust is most definitely resting on the ground, my pinch welds roughly at 3.5" off the ground I have maybe an inch between the ground and my exhaust B pipe....

i throw pics up once im done polishing them and there on the car and yes the exhaust is almost on the ground, i had to tuck it up more and run 1.75 piping, im also running 165/45/15r tires for alot of strech so i dont have to run as much camber but i kno the front will have some poke

Stretched tires are unsafe. Really. In the Tire and Wheel forum they'd lock this thread just for mentioning it. Sacrificing safety to look cool is just plain friggin' stupid.

I don't get this ridiculous trend of zero offset either.......not safe, doesn't fit proper, it certainly is not a performance upgrade. All you do is chew up tires

I would encourage others to think twice about going this route
