Default What Wheels are these?

I originally thought they were Rota Subzero wheels but then realized that Rota never made them in 15x8.5 so then I assumed they were Racing Hart Evo CP-035 but couldnt find any info on them making them in that size. Does anyone know?

Also, does anyone know how low i can go with no camber (100% daily stock driver so I want the tires to last) Gen 3 Integra? It's a 1995 LS. It currently has 205/55/15... or maybe 205/50/15... I cant remember and the wheels are in shipping right now with Falken Ziex ZE-512's and I plan on keeping those tires since I have a 40,000 mile warranty on them and only 5,000 miles on the tires.

What makes you think they're 15x8.5? They look more like 15x6.5, to be honest.

there's no way a 205 tire would look like that on a 8.5" wide wheel, nor would it fit under your fenders like that.

I think you may have mistaken the 6 for an 8.

those drums have seen better days.

i had someone physically measure them and say 8.5" before getting em shipped so that i could find a box for them and i was like wtf so i checked the back of the rim and it says 15x8 1/2

and ignore the car, it was sitting for a year and got junked lol

and i thought a 205 width tire could fit with a stretch?

ill recheck em once i get em back on monday but i know he physically measured 8.5" and that i read the back saying that.

the whole fender thing, it wouldnt fit like that even with no drop? im 100% open to admitting that im mistaken, i mustve just been in a rush or something when i read it

Measuring rim edge to edge, or bead seating width. "How low can you go" could also depend on offset. Do not think that you will get help with stretch here, see other threads on that.

Did the previous owner try to measure the wheel width with the tire mounted? If so, then they didn't get the proper dimension.


See measurement marked "A", for the true wheel width. (Outer lip to outer lip is not the accurate wheel width at all)

From the picture, those look identical to 15x6.5 Konig Minuz.


Now, for your 205 tire on an 8.5 wheel request...
Those tires are not rated for that wide of a wheel. That deems them unsafe for driving purposes, and Honda-Tech does not condone tire "stretching". If this is a topic on "stretching" it will get locked.
