Fozzy510 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Been looking at rim combo's. Dont know if i should run 15x8 +15/+0 or 15x7 +0 all the way around, i just dont wanna have any issues with fitting. I have fender flares, 200sx struts, and lowered. Im trying to run a wide back tire as i have about 400hp to the wheels and my 225's are cutting it with traction. My current rims are 15x7 +25 and on the front i had to put 1/2'' spacers just so it wouldnt rub and on the rear i got 1/4'' spacers. I still have plenty of room in the rear as i do have full fender flares. Need some drag radials, i.e. Mickeys or Nittos. Ill post pics if need be. I would really like to run the 15x8's. Im just concerned on the offset. I could probably get away with 15x8+0 offset in the rear and maybe 15x8 +15 in the front. Just want other peoples input. Iv searched alot on google, ratsun, desertdatsun, and nicoclub. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment

Fozzy510 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Anyone??? Quote Link to comment
510T Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Pictures would help but if flared could probably go +0 in the back. Use your current setup as your guide and measure how much room you have. 510's don't like too much bigger than a 23" tire, so be careful. You will always be fighting for grip with a 400hp 510. :) also if you have not seen it: www.willtheyfit.com Quote Link to comment
Fozzy510 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Cool thanks for the website... i took some pics with a ruler. I fee like i have plenty of room but i dont wanna buy the rims then they wont fit if you know what i mean. I would rather buy a smaller offset than what i have and just spacers on it. So below are the pics i took. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Do you want that much rear camber??? .... even years from now when the car is "finished"??? if you want to keep the stock rear camber, and don't want to go any lower .... then you can fit a negative offset 15x8 or 15x9 might fit, depending on tires/camber Quote Link to comment
Fozzy510 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 i don't plan on going any lower. i already scrape when i go up my drive way. So ur saying dont go with a 0 offset but something with a negative offset?? I want to try and fit something wider than 225's in there to help with my traction issues. Quote Link to comment
