    15x8 +20 fit?

    will they? ive zero'd in on a sweet set of wheels id like to run.. curious to see if theres any fitment issues, i know this gets tricky when were talking 16x8, but perhaps this helps a bit for fitment?


    edit! the offest is actually +25, not +20.. my mistake, i got too excited.. heh.

    I have S52 swap with ground control susp. Springs are 440F and 700R with koni shocks.
    Wheels are 15x8 ET 15 with 205/50R15 tires. Fenders are slightly rolled.
    I know its not an IX but i can post pics if you want.
    Hope this helps!

        that's totally irrelevant if its not an ix.

        ET25 is too low. it will "fit" with a 205/55-15 but it will rub with people in the back, around corners, over bumps, especially if you are lowered, and you'll hit the front fender liners.

        With a 15x8, you'd really want to run a 225/50-15, but that has no chance of working with that low of an offset.

        the diameter of the wheel makes basically no difference. the tire diameter should end up the same, it's the width and offset that really determine if it rubs or not.
