    Wheel and tire fitment question???

    1988 IX coupe
    I have gc coils and 15mm spacers. The factory wheel says its a 41mm offset which bring my wheels to a 26mm offset. I want to put 16x7.5s on it. Now, theres a problem. The 16x7.5 comes in 2 offsets, one being a 20, and one being a 35. The 35 is not hubcentric so I would need hub centric rings. The 20 is hub centric. My real question is what would have to be done if I got the 20mm and wanted to put a 215 or 225 on it without having a streched tire look. Or should I not worry about the hubcentric rings?

      hubcentric rings are no big deal. Id get the plastic ones over the metal ones.

        I'd definitely go with the et35 wheels. The lower offset would stick out about 1/2" more than your current setup.
