Anyone running 15x8 rims?

If so, what offset and tyre size are you using, what drop do you have on your suspension and have you had to have any archwork.

mine are 8 on the rear and it is slammed on coilovers, not too sure by how much though. they do rub slightly on the rear and i'm planning on getting them rolled soon though. i use 195/50/15 and the offset is either 28 or 38 can't remember which?! i could go and have a look but they are all tucked up over this sh!tty weather period! i think they must be et38. my fronts are 7.5 and i've had no trouble with them.

I want to run ET25 15 x 8 instead of the ET25 15 x 7.5 that I run now.

i'd say the easiest way to tell would be to have a good feel around your arches to see what kind of clearance you've got at the moment, then judge what you'd have with wider rims. either that or get a spacer? or just get your rims done and get the arches sorted, using the whell as a guide. better than guess work. if you really want 8" rims you'll have to do the work anyway so you may as well just go for it!!!

It's not so much that I want 8s but more that I dont want to come any narrower than 7.5 which I currently have. I DO want to change my wheels though but most wheels seem to come in 7 or 8, so it's 8 inches for me. But the offset and whether it will give me serious problems will be a contributary factor to the choice of wheel that I go for.
