dakotahchore Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 So, I'm prepping to get a new set of Rota Shakotans... I'm wondering if 15x8 0 offset will fit in the rear with full fender roll and some stretch. Anyone got any experience with these? Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I am currently running 15x7 +25 offset. I have some room with a rolled fender and a bulgy tire (205 R50, a few mm of bulge past the wheel itself). A 15x8 0 offset would be 1.5 inches further outboard from where mine currently are. With a little less bulge (maybe even some stretch) I think you could probably make it work. One other thing to remember is that you're not going to have any rear camber on a wagon, so you're stuck with what you've got from that fitment perspective, no "squeezing" tire under the lip.

Laecaon Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 There was a wagon at Canby with those wheels. Not really sure how they fit... !5x7 +0 is pretty flush stock. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Running those Z wheels, I have about an inch ish before the rim would be touching the lip. IIRC. they are 14x6 with whatever offset Z wheels are. But my car isn't low so theres room lol Quote Link to comment
dakotahchore Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Guess I'll find out! I am going to run tire stretch and a full fender roll. Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 this is 15x7 0 offset with fender roll rears ...15x8 will be really close, it can work with stock height i believe tho this has the bottom leaf flipped if i remember right member: stupid_fast's goon Quote Link to comment
Stupid_fast Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Tendril beat me to it with my own pics! :rofl: 15x7 0 with a 195-50 ( I had 55's before) tire is a tight fit, but theres some room before the rim will start to hit the leafs so I'm sure you could fit a 15x8 +20 or so back there. Also keep in mind my axle is slightly mis aligned, so one side is about 5mm further in than the other(you can see in the pics) It all depends on how badly you really want them to fit. I have rolled fenders, and a combination of 510 and 720 truck leafs... no blocks. Quote Link to comment
dakotahchore Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I will be getting flex-form leafs and the custom traction bar setup. I guess i'll have to pull the fenders a bit... all good. Quote Link to comment
dakotahchore Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Aiming for maximum width and negative offset basically, I will make them fit :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
