225 50 15.. quick answer needed!

[gazellebeigem3]

ok, i have 15x7 koseis, will 225 50 15s fit on these cars with fender rolling? myabe be a know fact or something i just need to know quick!

No fender rolling required. I have some....on a late model car 15x7 et 27 225x50x15 Kumho(crappy tire) 711's. Good long wearing tire but feels like your driving on marbles or ice.

Now you might if the thing is a low rider. I rubbed on occasion with the H&R sports but hated the tucked tire look so I put M3 rear springs in.

thanks man. i placed my order. i wanted to make sure i had them for the g2g on the 5th so i could roll my fenders. Ive torn them up already on 205 50s. i got avses100s btw (again.)

[SchnellerVert]

You have torn your arches up with 205's? then you may want to consider rolling them. How low are you?

[gazellebeigem3]

yeah, i dont know the drop, i lost the pics of the measurements. I plan to roll them on the 5th at alex's place. I just wanted to know if i would be able to drive over there or should i mount them as i roll the fenders. So i guess ill mount them at work and do a test fit. heres a pic. Not that low, i guess we have shitty roads and/or i drive like an asshole.

Not all 225/50/15 tires will work with Koseis due to strut clearance, but the ES100s do (really sqaure shoulders).

[2002maniac]

Also depends on the offset of the wheels. with et27 it will be close to the struts, and with et17 it is closer to the fender. I am pretty low with 225's on my et17 15x7 kosei's with no rubbing yet. They did stick out of the fender a bit in front before the drop and negative camber.

Heeter has ET17 Kosei's also, he has no rubbing issues.

My wheels are either et13 or et17 with wide 225/50 [BFG gforce sport] and the rears have some rubbage going on. Nothing a simple fender roll enxt week won't take care of.

[gazellebeigem3]

got em mounted today at work. Rubbing in the rear when you take off in 1st but fender rolling should take care of that.

205/50s though. not to mention my rear fenders came rolled from the PO. and my rear ride height is pretty high.

hell, kyle's (bimmer8604) pal in KS has those Ronals with ET15 and 225s.
