super wide low offset wheels is what you want and thats the trend with these douchebags nowadays so yeah your following the trend, it doesnt matter what the wheels look like they are gonna look terrible, if you want a car to handle and drive well, the wheels you want are 2 inches to wide, a 15x7 with around+35 to +40 is what you want, with a 205-50 tire


o and yeah my last set of wheels were super gay

With this sort of attitude, you're not going to get much of a positive response. (I'm not saying that it wasn't provoked, though.)

As for 15x9's... you're not going to fit them on the car using properly sized tires without extensive work done to the fenders and quarter panels, no matter what offset you choose. 15x7 +35's are going to be about as low as you can go while using stock fenders and quarter panels.

I will offer a legitimate answer for you. Depending on the offset, you will need to have your fenders rolled and a little bit of the rear bumper trimmed. You can run the correct size tire with a good pull or cut the fenders and use flares.

I'm pretty sure that rim size is way too wide for your car. I honestly don't think it will look good or drive good. I would say 15 x 8 maximum

15x9s are pushing it with a stretched tire. Go 15x8 +36 with a 205 or 215 tire and you won't need to roll fenders and crap. I'm getting rpf1s 16x8 fronts and 16x6.5 or 7 rears for weekend track wheels.
