After 13 years of owning my em2 - I'd like to buy some aftermarket wheels to replace the stock SE's. I have a few ideas, but don't have the experience to know what fitment is possible without modifying/rolling the fenders. The car is lowered on BC coilovers w/ swift springs and has maybe a finger gap on each corner. I'd like the wheels/tires to fill out the wheel well, but not rub if possible. Any help would be appreciated.

Option 1 - 15x8 20mm (not sure what tire size) - Also favorite wheel
Option 2 - 15x7 38mm and 205/50/15
Option 3 - 16x7 43mm RPF1's (also not sure on tire size)

The 15x8 +20's won't fit without rolling the fenders/quarter panels.

The tire size on the 15x7's is a bit too undersized for the chassis. 205/60/15's are within 1% of the original tire diameter. 215/55/15 would be closer still, but there aren't really any tires out there in that size.

You could run 16x7 +35's with 205/50/16 or 215/50/16's and clear them without rolling the panels.

No problem. Best of luck getting some new wheels.

Second the 16x7, that's what I'm running with 205/55/16 on a 2" drop. And +40 fits well on the EM2

Would you please post some pictures of the car to see how it looks on those wheel/tire combo?

Thanks!
