so im gonna buy some new wheels. and i really like some that i saw but they only come in 15x8 and 16x8. im not worried about the width, but they only come in +0 offset. has anyone tried anything like this, or do you have any opinions if they would fit with some modification or not. im sure the rears would fit fine with pulling and convincing of the fenders but idk about the front. any input would help thanks.

i pulled my 1/4s maybe over 1 1/2" to get a 15x7 with a 10mm offset to fit.. in the front a 32mm offset with a 7" wide rim will sit flush..

so to go 8" with 0 offset is almost 4 1/2" to the lip edge where as the rears on mine are @ 3 1/2" so you would need those pulled almost 2 1/2" to fit.

in the front you would need pulled almost 3" i am thinking, and that does not include clearance for turning..

yeah i wanted a bit of poke, but even with some crazy wheel stretching that sounds like some custom fenders are needed. i guess ill just go with 15x7 +25 with spacers in the back. i just really wanted those wheels but its the only offset they had them in

What wheels? Let's see them.

even a +25 is going to poke in the front.. you'll need some stretch, and on a 7" rim youll need a 165/50(or 45)r15 to get any at all.


these are my 35mm offset in a 7" rim in front.. its pretty close..

btw thats with 2 degrees of camber..

just wondering, the camber you have is the natural camber you get from lowering your car right, or what else did you do haha?
oh and here are those amazing wheels i wanted

when i put the coilovers on i pushed the top of the spindle in as far as possible before tightening them.. left it that way for 100 miles..

then i raised my car a 1/4" to keep from scrapping at stop signs.. and set the camber to just above 1*, which turns out according to my alignment to be 1.3*..

those wheels look pretty nice, i am sure you could find something similar with a little less offset though..
