So, I'm going to order my new Drag DR20 rims next week in a 15x7 Black with machined lip +40 offset, which I will space to my liking. Those will be my new summer wheels, so I can go waay lower. For winter wheels I am trading my silver MSR 17's to my buddy for some wheels off his new Coraddo G60 1.8S he just got. They are MB Motorsport 16x7 Silver with 205/50/R16 Hankook Double-studded snow tires. The wheels have some minor rash on them, but I'll be completely re-painting them silver. Think these will have any problems with clearance?

And all these are of the new rims that are currently on the G60, that I'll be using for winter:

G60???

Bout time I see some 15"s, they are gonna look sick

Yeah, I'm stoked for em'. I wish they had more offset options for them, but I'll make it work. I'm gonna need a 5mm spacer in the front, and I'm gonna need longer studs in the rear and I'll just have to play with some washers to get the spacing right, so I order the right size.

5mm is the least you need, in front. those rims look familiar.

Which rims look familiar Rabbit? Do you think 205/50/R16's will fit without rubbing?

the new rims look familiar,,


i rubbed like crazy with a 205/45r16. but i am lower than you. heck my 195/45r15s rub once in a while..

Yeah, I'm thinking once I have coilovers I'll slam it on 15's for summer and leave it dropped about 1.5 below stock for winter. I think it should be fine. I mean adding spacers to the 16's in the right amount should help with rubbing too right?

Yeah, I searched and searched and finally found that calculator that HiTecRednec posted forever ago and realized my new winter wheels I'm getting will only be .66inches taller. I shouldn't have any clearance issues, just have to raise the coilovers up a bit for winter.

Anyone know any good sites to order rims and tires? I want to order my Drag DR20's next week. I think I'm gonna get 195/50/R15 Achilles ATR Sport tires. What do you guys think?

treadepot for tires. great prices and offering $25 off 250...

rims, possibly ebay for the standard offsets..


i find you can do better individually buying them than as a package most of the time.
