    Yay or Nay?

    I need your help.....so I bought 16x9 et15 esm002 wheels locally a few weeks back, and I finally got around to getting them on the car to see what they are like. And I can't decide if these look right....I have 10mm spacers in front and 15mm spacers in the rear. I feel like the car may not be low enough to pull them off, the front looks so high off the ground. There mounted on Goodyear eagle gt 205/50/r16.

    Just need some opinions on the look.

      What would happen without the spacers? Rub on the inside? I like them to sit in the arches more.

      PS - Not too many people still have a TR7!

          @latefan: Yeah. The tires would rub the struts hard haha. My dad picked up the TR7 for 500 bucks a few months back, it was garage kept for its entire life. Only the second owner! Completly rust free too.

              @erbear28 Thanks! The monsters truck stance is what I'm afraid of haha. The front end of early ETAs doesn't come nearly as close to the ground as late models, that's what's throwing it off to me.

                  Rear can do without a spacer and the front spacer could be smaller as well if it doesn't bother your caliper/strut housing.

                  Front camber will also help.

                      Yeah, that looks awful. Not a fan of stretch or poke.

                        running wide rims with low offsets is a BIG NO on e30 as we can see from those pictures. Unless if you are planning to roll and put flares on it, I would suggest you to remove them. I was used to see this kind of fitment in honda scene but I wasn't ready for MexiFlush especially in r3v.

                            You can pull off the wide and low offset if you do your homework.
