Ok, I'd like to start off saying sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I know there is a wheel and tire forum but i would get a reply faster here. Anyway, Got a 97 Hatch lowered on Tokico Illuminas and SPC Camber Kits. My current wheels are Konig Foil 15x7 +40mm offset nothing to aggressive and my tires are a 195/45R15 Toyo Proxes T1R. Now getting to the point.. i wanna get something in a 15X8 with at least a +25mm offset (+20mm preferred) not really trying to hellaflush my car just want a little stance to achieve that racecar/track car look since i got hoodpins and extend lugnuts. plus i wanna get just a little lower since my coils are as low as they can go. I dont mind rolling fenders and doing the alignment since i have everything to do it. So my question is what size wheel would work the best to achieve my goals? Also, if you have any wheel ideas for what i should get would very helpful. Thank You!

 

Nice car. I have konig candy wheels and they sit dead flush with the fender.

 

Thanks!!!! i have been looking at the candys for quite some time now and have developed a good friendship with one of the guys that work there, however talking to them they said the candys are 15x7.5... if you can you post up some pics of pm with some to give me an idea possibly?

 

They are 15x7.5 et 30 weight 13lbs each. I bought my set for $440 shipped

 

I have a coworker with a red ek hatch, he put gold enkei 92 15x8 +25 on looks sic. $130 a wheel.

 

i think youre car looks great as it is. dont **** it up.

 

15x8 et20 will get you rolled and pulled fenders and negative camber. If you don't want to pull the fenders you can do what someone else did and literally hack the aftermarket camber arms to get even more camber.

Pretty common question people are asking. Should have Googled the info.

 

i think it looks ok as is..
i really hate the offset flush look people wanna go with...it's just a trend and bandwagon material to me...

looks functional now...and what you are looking at doing is going for a look and losing functionality

 

Thanks for the input guys!!!!!! I really appreciate it. Not trying to lose a whole lot function but mainly trying lose wheel gap from when I went from the 195/50s to the 195/45s

 

Fitment looks *excellent* as-is. Don't F with it. In fact, the whole thing looks great. Success!

 

ok that contradicts putting 20 offset wheels on..

to make up for the tiny amount gap you got from tire size change doesn't warrant puttin different offset wheels on. why did you go from 195 50 to 45s?

 

Price better performance and lowered my car down a little more haha

 

What you described in wheel choice in fact equals...."hella flush" stance bs. If that's not what you are looking for stick with 15x7 with 32 or more offset.



Hood pins means racecar? Extended lug nuts with no extended studs means racecar? News to me.....

 

i have 15x 7 35mm offset rota hm3 with 205 50 and i love em. perfecto to me.

 

YES RACECAR

^sarcasm

lol. i guess people do it for looks

 

Crap, my race cars now need new lugs and hood pins since they are rocking the stock ones.
