Will they fit?

[DarkWing6]

I have discussed offset and tried to understand. I am looking at a set of wheels that are 15x7 with a ET35 offset. I think they will fit, but does anyone know for sure?

10mm spacer will do the trick.

Basketweaves are 30

Will they rub without them?

My 15x8.5 are 33et...No rubbing, no spacers. 35et might be too close, but they may work without spacers...

Basketweaves are 30

What's your point? They are also 14x6.5, completely unrelated.

I honestly can't picture 15x7" Et35 fitting without rubbing the struts, but if it does fit, you will be stuck with 205 tires and it won't look very good.

Whats up today TJ?

Offset is part of his question, Basketweaves have an offset of 30.

Ok?

Different rim sizes and widths need different offsets... that didn't help at all is all I am saying.

Fair enough but it's not like I said I like pie.

You should be fine assuming you'll be using a 215 or less tire. I have run many times 17*7 et40 with 215/40/17 with NO strut tower rubbing but does rub inner well under very tight turns.Yes car is also lowered.

Here is another example of useless info. 17" rims give you much more clearance than a 15". The higher up you go from the hub, the more space between the rim and the strut you have, given the same rim width and offset.

Wrong! How is that more clearence if the rim itself is getting closer to the hub tower? Also overall Diameter puts it within fractions of stock combination.So again how is that more clearance? Please research or consult with the OG that was harsh but gave correct info.

The strut angles in towards the car. The bigger the rim, the farther it is from the strut. I am not talking about the overall diameter, I am talking about the inside clearance of the rim. A 17" has much more clearance than a 15".

My rims are 15in, 6.5 inchs wide, and have an offset of 33. I run 205 tires. I don't rub but the space between my wheel and the strut is paper thin.

Helps alot .... for relative differences in wheels...
