Default wheel and tire help

Ok guys imma running a 92 eg bubble with a 4 lug. I want to run a 15x8 wheel with a +0 offset. Will I have any issues running a 225-50-15 with this offset. Def will be rolling front and rear fenders. I did read I may have to put a spacer in to avoid rubbing on the rear trailing arm. Was just wondering if this offset will work

you're gonna have to run a lot of camber or do quite a bit of pulling to get that to fit.

Well, without fender flares or an unsafe amount of negative camber, there still won't be enough clearance for a 0 offset 8" wide wheel for your car.

Ok that was what I had thought what is ideal offset for this size tire wheel package

I have a set of 03 si wheels with **** tires on them but what I would like to know , are they 6.5 or 7 inches wide. If so can I run a 215-50-15 with no issues

Can I run a 215-40-16 with no rub issues. The wheels will have a 38mm offset . Do the fenders need to be rolled

everything that ive read and searched for on here says that a +36 offset works the best in a 15x8.

You'll probably need a slight amount of rolling to clear those tires at all times. But, they'll fit the car safely.

The only way you could run a 225 with a 16" wheel, would be with 225/35/16's. And that is a tire size that I don't think exists. If you want 225's, you'll have to go with 15" wheels for your car.
