Amjad Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah I don't wanna run more than I currently am though (-1.2)The tyres on there at the moment are Parada 2s, but I think I'll be getting rainsports. I'm definitely gonna need to switch down to at least 195/45 though I know that, I don't wanna have big arch gap haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakeep82 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The 15x7 grid v still has a fair bit of dish never knew they done them in that size thought they only done em et0 8j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 never knew they done them in that size thought they only done em et0 8j15x7 ET 20they also do a16x8 et 20 which you could have some luck with, but id go for the 7s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossTRD Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 So what et would I need to run 7J without spacers lol? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Anything ET35 and less looks good, depends on your taste really Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) The higher the width, the less likely you are to want to run spacers with it. For instance you'd be unlikely to want to run 7J wheels with spacers as they would probably foul the arches something fierce. And 8J wheels with spacers would probably be more out of the arch than in lol.You would want et40 to try and match the OEM fitment, but could probably get away with upto et20/25 if you didn't mind doing some light arch work (^ as Amjad said, lower offsets do look sweet). Obviously you could do more as anything is technically possible if you have the time and money, but that fitment should minimise the hassle somewhat.Having said that, some people still have problems with 7J around et40 I think so I guess it's a bit of just suck it and see!

TrisK Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 the problem with 7j et40 is your going to need a spacer to clear the brakes/strutif you think about the way offset works, the higher the offset with the wider wheel the more is hanging over the inside Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 This is true the strut may be an issue, I would've thought the brakes would be ok though unless the calipers are uprated? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 This is true the strut may be an issue, I would've thought the brakes would be ok though unless the calipers are uprated?depends on the design of the spokes.i know on my polo running 15x8 et25, i had to run a 5mm spacer (effectively et20) to clear the front caliperalso on my mates civic, 15x8 et0 rubbed without a spacer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hmmm interesting, I guess there's no solid way to know without just jumping in and doing a trial fit then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
