1994 Integra RS with 16*7 Slipstreams (+40 offset). I couldn't get these wheels in the color that I wanted in a +45 offset. Is this going to screw me from ever being able to run the 215's? I've heard they run even wider than they measure.

Thanks

you could always use a set of wheel spacers....

 

I have a set on my Integra with 16x7 +45 offset, and I dont have any issues. But I have a reasonably stiff suspension. With a +40 offset, it will push the wheels out a little more and you may rub on the rear fender lip. You could of course roll it or get springs that are stiff enough that it would not compress that much. What rates are you running in the rear and how low is the car??

A spacer would not help in this case as it would just push the wheels out farther.

 

oops, i wasnt sure which side of the wheel was in danger of rubbing...

 

I'm just thinking for the future. I don't have a suspension. Just wanted to see if I could run them. I thought maybe I screwed myself by getting the +40's. I've seen websites showing how to roll the fenders but never seen it done in person. How tough is it? Thanks again

If you lower, just don't drop the car too much and you'll be fine.

 

How much is too much for a daily driver and a weekend autocross car?

215 45 ur car better be not lowered very much because thats a huge tire.

215 40 is approx the same size as a 205 45

 

I rubbed with 215/45x16" Azenis on 16x.5" wheels. I know Pat Goss has 16x7" 42mm offset Volkt TE-37s and more negative camber and lowered (2" approx) and he doesn't rub with his Integra GSR.

 

What size wheels do you have? That's good news about Pat Goss having his GSR lowered running the huge azenis and not rubbing. those will probably be my next autox tires for sure!

Reread my post again I already said the size

 

would anybody be kind enough as to post a pic, please? i just want to see and compare... thanks in advance.

 

so what size are those wheels again? 16x.5"?

 

I would think you would be able to figure it out 16x.7.5".

 

I'm sorry, I didn't figure it out.

 

I'm running 215/45R16 Azenis on 16x7 +42mm Volk SE37K in my Integra. I don't have rubbing, the car is dropped approx. 1.75".

Here are couple pics, probably not a good angle to show the rims and kinda dark at the rim areas.
