Without fender work, you're looking at about 15x7 +38 for the lowest you can run with properly sized tires. 15x8's in general, are out of the question.

Before I bought my sprinthart cpf's from my boy he was running them on his eg hatch. With a 25mm 4x100 to 4x114.3 adapter the +45 sprintharts sat flush on his hatch with perfect camber. The wheels were 15x6.5 with 195-55 tires , hope it helps

thanks appreciate the help. now i just have to figure out what wheels i wanna run with

what about 15x7 35 offset?

how much fender work would it require for 15x8 25 offset. would it need rear fender work too or just front, and how much.

15x7 +35 can work with a little bit of negative camber.

15x8 +25's will need both the fenders and the quarter panels rolled significantly, as well as a bit of negative camber.

We recommend either 195/50R15 (for the 7" wide wheel) or 225/45R15 (for 7" or 8" wide) for reference.
