Default (HELP PLEASE) 15x8 offset +20

I went to discount tire, and they had the shittiest tires. If they dropped my car back down, the tires would not fit for ****.

What can I do to get these fitted? I have a pretty low drop probably around 3 inches or so off the ground from the front, back end is a little higher than the front.


Should I stretch tires? Get low profile tires? I have only around $400 to spend on this ****... HELP

You don't mention what kind of car these are on, but I have a feeling the wheels are too wide for the car (or have too low of an offset).

I'm sorry it was moved, it's a 1998 civic ex coupe. Do I need to roll fenders? Camber? What do I need to do?

This is how it looked with 195/50/15, this is while jacked up...

Would have not fit if I dropped it lmao

Yeah, they never would have fit in the first place.

You're definitely going to need to roll the quarter panels and fenders, and may possibly need some negative camber.

I also find it difficult to believe that those are 195/50's...

Here's a set of 195/50/15's on 15x8's:

Why didn't you just buy wheels that fit?

That tire is enormous. I just bought an EK that came with 15x8 +15 on 195/50 and the sidewall looks a lot more similar to what toyomatt posted.

The poke is a little too much for me but yours should fit with a proper tire.

Since we can't see your car on the ground we won't know the clearance but any serious drop will likely require fender rolling and pulling and possibly a bit of camber adjustment.

But for starters I'd get different tires.
