    TRMotorsport C1- 15x7 or 15x8?

    I am looking into TRMotorsports C1's but I'm not sure about which size. I am running 15x7 with 205/55's right now. If I run 15x8's will I need to roll the fenders (something I don't want to do) Car is a 87 325ic, not a track car.
    Was thinking maybe a staggered setup 15x7 in front and 15x8 in back? Really not sure what to do.
    Thanks

    Are these the ones off of TireRack? I was looking into those also. I think a staggered setup would be pretty cool. I might try that out actually when I get some wheels.

      Yes from tire rack. I was thinking the same thing, but wanted some opinions.

          no point in getting 15x8 if you arent going to a wider tire like 225. just use the 15x7 and save some weight.

                15x8s wont LOOK any better, and if you aren't going to use the width for rubber, there is no point in them being wider.

                  I disagree. The 15x8's look better IMO because the spokes are more concave that the 7's.

                  I'm running 8's all the way around and wish I'd have gone with 7's in front, mainly because I've got significantly more poke in front than in back. Anybody want to swap 2 8's for 7's?

                      So I think I decided on 15x7's but they are on back order until December from tire rack. Anyone know of anywhere else to buy them?
                      Thanks
