What is the "perfect" 15x8?

[Bimmerguy91]

I run 15X8 +0 XXR 002 and have no issues

That could mean anything. We don't know what suspension and tires you're running.

i second the 15x8 et20. but I like a 225\45 better

Where can I source a 245 aspect ratio 15" tire? I'm having a hard time nailing one down

Remember a 225/45 is an inch undersize. My current setup is 15x8, et25 with 10mm spacers to make a final offset of et15. Tires are 225/45 RS-3s

TRM C1's
Hankook RS3's - 225/45 15's
H&R O.E. Sports + Koni Adjustables

No rubbing issues whatsoever.

245? That may be a tight fit

Fenders aren't an issue. See my thread.

No intention of jacking this thread OP.

Man that's awesome, what suspension are you running? How do you roll fenders?

It looks like that url is a different listing every time its clicked.

That is what you need. Also a heat gun to help prevent your paint from cracking.

I'm running 225/50-15 rears on team dynamics pro race 1.3... 15x7 et25 i believe lowered on IE3s and I've had no rubbing issues

Thinking of going to 225/45s so I can get some RS3s-- I guess the speedometer isn't that bad just 4% fast...

Not the greatest picture

What tires are those? that's the size I'd like to run but R888 and A048 are only decent options I've seen, but I'd like something more street oriented...

In that picture, I had Yokohama ES100s 225-50/5 rear and bald Ventus rs2 195-50/15 front... Switching to a square 205 setup with Dunlop star specs this season I think.

Looks nice, but staggered tires are a PITA

So I've read a lot of posts in this thread and I gather that 15x7+17 up front and 15x8+17 in back would require pretty narrow tires (~205) and/or fender rolling. Based on the picture above, however, it looks like they should fit fine with 225s.

My car is not as low as the one pictured above and it has high (early) rear fenders. Do you think I will have an issue?
