Default has anyone run a 7.5" wide rim on their ITR?

I figured if there was any forum on this board where someone has run a 7.5" wide rim on their honda it would be you guys. I am wondering how well it fits. any pics or experiences would help. I want to run a 225/50/15 on a 15X7.5 on my integra. thanks.

Lots of people on here running 15x7.5 SSR comps, like zyg I believe, and a few others. I'm sure they'll chime in but yes they do fit

I ran 7.5 SSRs with 205 Azenis on stock suspension. No issues. There was maybe 1/2" of clearance on the inside of the tire at the trailing arm on the rear.

Not sure about running them with 2245's but 205/50/15's fit nicely w/o any fender rolling (225's may require some manipulation of the inner fender lip for clearance issues).

This is with an aftermarket suspension, unknow drop.

Good Info guys. seems all the pic's are on WTDR hope the site comes back up soon. I talked to Mackin Industries and told them what I was wanting to do and they said it would fit and they reccomended 43 offset for the 15X7.5 in the front. so basically this thread confirms that it will work. thanks everyone. Hopefully I get to see the pics soon.

This guy is running OEM R32 Skyline GTR wheels on the front.

The stock Skyline wheel is 16x8, and has a +30 offset.
It looks good on the car IMO, though he might be having some rubbing issues.

7,5*16 RH cp035 and 215/40/16

Best of all worlds... stiff sidewall, wide tire, superlight, smaller than stock diameter








225 tire is overkill imho, even on a 15`` rim... it will wobble... 215/45/15 is the way fpr you to go, if you like to stay with 15``rims... But I recommend 7,5*16 superlightweight rims and an 215/40/16 tire.

those fit really nice! thanks for advice on the tire wobble, but I have to stay w/ 15" rim because its actually for a drag racing application. I am definitely going w/ a lightwieght wheel.
