Like the title says..... 15x7.5 +40 cp035's

I have spoon calipers and intend to run 205/ 50 azenis with these rims. Possibly 225 hoosiers (which i think will rub like a ****) for autox.....

Anyway, I want to make sure the rims will clear without spacers.....

AND I want to make sure that they won't rub too bad on a lowered itr.....

For reference: I am currently running 15x7 (+43) te37's - which need a 2-3mm spacer to clear the calipers... No rubbing issues.

 

7.5" like wh0a!

Aaron -who now has 6.5" wide CPs and are good enough for the gramma driver

7.5's are for wussies.... gotta run the 8's like todd and myself.

 

lets see some pics if possible.

 

You're gonna rub big time in the rear, whether the fenders or the trailing arms or both.

if i ever get the damn things.... 4 months and counting. i think todd might have gotten his though. i am waiting for the wheels, so i can finish me custom fenders.

edit: no rubbing on the insides, but major clearance is need outside. no biggie.

 

i dunno if that would clear or not, but maybe this will help...
my 15x7 +43mm te37s BARELY cleared rboosted's spoon calipers.. and i mean BARELY! like about 1mm or less?

I have those same rims and calipers and they DO NOT clear.....

 

that's interesting. it cleared on mike's R. you sure yours are the same size? here's my sticker...

 

yep, those are the same wheels that ken has.

 

wow that is wierd.. how a set of rims can fit on one car, but won't fit on another one. i guess the best thing to do is to actually try it out and not (fully) depend on someone else's setup.

.....the only thing I can think is that the spoon calipers you tested it on weren't installed with the spacers they come with. Thus, they aren't centered and are actually backspaced a bit.....
