15 X 8 WHEELS

Post by warrior » Thu Sep 04, 2014 5:55 pm

I am looking at some 15 x8 inch wheels with a 0 offset.

Looking to put them on my NA , it has rolled guards. At the moment I have some good 205/50,s but I think I will need to go to some 195/45,s?

Firstly will they rub?

And will I need to go to a 195/45 tyre?

I love the look of the wheel and the dish looks fantastic but the car needs to drive perfectly and I,m not 18 so I don't want it to look like I am (if you know what I mean :lol: )

I have tein adjustables in the car.

Do you guys think this will work?

to me as soon as you put 195 on a 15x8 your gonna look 18. get higher, 30+, offset wheels and use your 205's
'94 S-Special 1800 in BLACK
