A +35 offset will require either some negative camber or a quality fender/quarter panel roll to fit properly sized tires.

Its a coupe a nice set of coilovers is coming to help with height , but i wouldnt bitch about being factory height as long as i can get away with some wider wheels and tires, im not worried about rolling some fender wells thats cake walk, thanks everyone thats responded so far

That should work with minor body modifications.

Not sure how much different the EG is from the EK, but I just put 16x7 wheels with a 42 offset and 205/45-16 Khumos on my stock suspension-equipped '97. They fit pretty nicely, and are just about flush with the fender edges. No rubbing issues, either.

I'm doing a 15x8 rim with a 195-45-15 tire will let you know how that turns out. Last year I had the Konig Kandys in a 15x7.5 I had a 205-50-15 on it and they where good but they rubbed so I'm trying something new this year good luck with your setup

What was the offset, because 15x7.5 with a 195/45/15 should not have rubbed unless you had a ton off off set like a 0 offset or +10 with a =25 or =35 you should have been fine, do you know what the offset was?

+25 +35 offset for above post
