What offset?
« on: 17 August 2005, 12:37 »
Wanting to get some 15x8's. tho may have to settle for 7's, but what offset would I want so that they nicely fill g60 arches?

depends if you want to roll the lip or not, some ET26 would go right to the edge, but would scrape as soon as you hit a bump, low 30s would prob be the best offset.

ive et25 on mine and they only ever so slightly scrub. if i had 195/45 instead of 195/50 profile tyres im positive they wouldnt scrub. they give the car a that wee bit extra wide stance

Recently I bought BBS RMs (6.5x15, ET33).

Will they rub if I put the wider outer rims on (1.5" wide, so new width would be 8", right??). I have 195/45/15 tires.
