Default What Size Rims/Offset?

I'm currently looking at Diamond Racing SC Series rims . I'm about to buy an ED6 and need to figure out what give me the best fitment for the car with minimal fender work . I was thinking 15x8 rear , 15x7 front . I don't have the car yet so I can't measure how much backspacing I have to work with yet .

So 2 questions , how much room do you have to work with for backspacing ?
AND would this give me nice fitment ? I'm planning on running some camber on the back and a lil in the front and tuck the rear tires a bit .

don't like super cambered gross cars, so take my advice with a grain of salt. I'd say 15x7 +35 is where it's at.

Based on the principles of vehicle dynamics, you'd want to run the wider rims in the front...

It's a FWD car so the wider wheels should be in the front, but how Grimace said 15x7 with the 35 offset should be fine!

I agree , but the rear panels stick out a lil bit more . I saw someone with 15x10 in the rear and 15x8 in the fronts . looked great but way too much shaving , rolling , etc etc
