      Looks good. I think its funny guys i know said to run 205 or 195 on my 15s. I really like the meat of 225 and of course the way the car drives with it.

            I have 225/50 Falkens 912 on 15x8 ET20. Rolled rears. Stock height/springs. No issues, just careful in full lock turns... Am evaluating springs to upgrade to, so interested on various mods mentioned here that don't rub.

                I ran 225/50R15 on my old sedan. 15x7 et 28 I believe. The higher offset makes it fit much nicer so you can stuff some tire. I really enjoyed it and the ride was comparable to a stock 14 inch wheel.

                I then decided to run the same tire on a 15x8 et20 wheel and I HATED it. It just looked like shit imo. I cant really say why It sucked so bad other than it looked much more ballon and the lower offset gave me some unwanted poky look.
                Maybe I was high but I swear it didnt look as good as my 7inch wheels did. it also rubbed cause my coupe is much lower than my sedan was

                  thats weird that you thought that, the pics before yours dont look bad with a 8 wide wheel. I plan on running 15x8 et15

                  thanks for the pics! nice sedan!

                      Always like to whore out my car.

                      I love that people ask stupid questions so I dont have.

                        Ronal LS's are still the best looking wheels ever. Man.
