It's always sad when someone likes a set of rims and buys them, then they don't fit right. If going wider the rim has to be spaced inward slightly so the fender does not hit the tire when hitting bumps or if lowered in the future. When the math is done the car looks 10X better because it shows the driver cared to go to the bother.

take your time.

I run a 7x15 Rota with +25 on stock 510 struts.

I had Panasports but smashed the car  destyoyed the rims but rim was 6inch I believe with less offset. actually the bigger 7in fit under better with more room as it was more + offset

Thanks. I have lowered cars and worked with offsets and calculations etc so I will worry about that in good time. No doubt I will be picking more brains on the subject. I do like the Shakotan rims.

Noted. Thanks.

Here's a photo of a 14"x6" wheel with offset +10. This has 195/60-14 tires on the rear of my 510 wagon with 2" lowering blocks.

 

 

Lots of clearance - with a zero offset the tire will be 1/2" farther out and should still be fine.

 

Here's a great site to compare tires and wheel fitments.

Look forward to seeing more pics of the car and progress.

Anyone on here know what paint code my car is or could it be a number of different possibilities ?
