    im gonna run a staggered rim set.

    im sticking with 17's



    what is the max i can go offset wise and be cool with the strut?

    for the rear?

    for the front?

    i dont wanna run spacers anymore. and i want the deepest lip i can get on the rear.

    i need to know if i can run these wheels

    15x7.5 +32 in the rear? will i need spacers as i have a 25mm spacer or can i run them without?

    you want the deepest lip? 15x7.5 +28 is what you want if you don't want spacers. you'll have to roll your fenders though or else it'll rub.

    if you can run a 6.5 rim + 25mm spacer, that's the same as 7.5 rim.
    25mm = 2.5cm = 1 inch.

    Not exactly. Rim width counts both inside and outside, but it depends on ET as well. In case of the spacer, the rim only goes outside.

    right. sorry, 8am post :D

    6.5 wide wheels + 25mm spacer touch reach as far as a 7 wide wheel would touch on the fender.

    so you would need spacers and roll the fenders if I would want 15x8" +25

    so i found my set up... running 185/55/15 tires all around


    15x7/40 offset (front)
    15x7/10 offset (rear) might have to use spacer maybe not.....pics when installed for sure tho

    mine are 15x7 + 45. both front and rear. iirc i have 5mm spacers on the rear to clear the strut. this allows me to run a 225 45. no rubbing or rolling. car is lowered 1.5in. also have f/r sways and koni eibach strut/spring. so im super stiff (may help aviod fender rubbage). im pretty sure this is the widest tire you could fit w/o rolling or flares.

    -pics?
