15x7 wheel offsets - 225s?

[rwh11385]

I just got some 15" and they say ET30 on them. I know Koseis are ET27, will ET30 work as well?
What is the acceptable range for offset on a 15x7 wheel?
What is the range of offset that would work with a 225/50 tire?

I've seen 5mm and 8mm spacers, making ET25 and ET22. (Although H&R's 5mm spacer won't work with my beveled center bore.......) Will ET22 work with 225/50?

thanks

p.s. I tried searching, but didn't find much.

I'm sitting on a net offset of et22 15x7's with 225/50's. Rubbed slightly out back with my older fender arches, so I took a bat to them. Later models have half-rolled arches - it'll be close.

et30 won't work with 225's though, the tires would hit the strut. And 8mm spacers probably won't leave enough hub exposed in the front for the wheel to rest on. I'd go 8mm on the spacers and massage the fenders where necessary.

Alright, thanks a lot man.

So ET30 will be fine with 205/60-15 for now right?

And ET22 with 225/50 will work as long as I roll a lil fender....(already done a lil bit)

how low is your car? ive heard people with eibachs can run 225's with the stock lower arches, but any lower is probably too low.

that low, for now

the rear is coming up about 3/4inch to an inch.

I'm running 225/50's et 25 on Eibach's, rubbed in the rear under hard acceleration, I had to roll the rear lips out with a bat.

erm, i'm using the H&R 5mm spacers without issue... dunno who told you they won't fit but mine slipped right on after i cleaned the hub.

Put them on and see how much room you have, I am running 17x7.5 et35 and I have about 1/4" room with 215's.
