Wheel offset/width question for a newb...

We can have an O.C. fender rolling party!

Hehe, sounds good. I'll see my friend at Willow Springs this weekend, I'll ask him if I can borrow the roller for a while.

If you got those and ran 5mm spacers, they would look sick with 225/50-15s. And I'm pretty sure that you can use normal length lug bolts with a 5mm spacer.
Yeah, I'm changing my vote, do the 15x8's.

What wheels are these, by the way?

15x8 +30 huh? With the 5mm spacer, that's effectively +25....will that rub even with spacers?

The wheels are Work VS-XX. Here's an idea of what they look like, but mine would be in silver:

2 piece or 3 piece?
How much $ and how much do they weigh? Forged or cast aluminum?

Let us know about the roller! Ill bring chips and dip!

I'm positive that 8" wide ET25 wheels will rub the strut (not the fender). No rolling will help that.

Goddamn those are sexy wheels. Where are you getting them and how much?

Damn, that sucks. Have you actually tried it yourself?
If that is the case, he could run 10mm spacers and roll the fenders a bit.

I just went out and measured the clearance on my 15x7 et25 wheels w/ 225/50 es100 tires. There is about 1/4" of clearance between the tire and the strut, and about 1/2" between the wheel and strut. With an 8" wide wheel and the same tires and offset, the protective bead of the tires would probably rub. Maybe just get the et17 offset ones? You would have to roll the shit out of your fenders, but it would looks sick.

sorry I dropped off the face of the earth. had a race last weekend and then i was in the middle of selling my integra and buying a new truck. unfortunately that new truck took away my E30 money, so it's gonna be a while before I can get one. The good thing about that is I can look for what I really wanted, a black on black sedan with manual trans. anyone have one for sale? :P
