16x9 ET15 + 15mm Spacer + 225/45/16 Fit?

[Maeda]

Right i'm trying to get some rear tires situated.

From what I gather searching this board up and down
225/45/16 on a 16x9 will fit.

The trouble is i have a 15mm spacer in the rear effectively making my wheel a 16x9 et0. Will a 225/45/16 still fit? :\

I really cant run smaller then a 225 and still have grip.

Curious as to why you are using a 15mm spacer? You don't need to and if you want to run that large of a tire on 9's you want to keep them under the car as much as possible to avoid rubbing not to mention it will look bad.

You going FI or s50/52 or stroker? Reason I ask is why do you think you will have traction problems?

I have 225/45 r16s on my 8in wide rotas all around and with et 20 I rubbed on the fenders alittle before i rolled them. I could only imagine how bad it would be with et0... You can see how close the tire is to my fender int he front in my sig and it is also really close on the strut side. In the rear there is not much more room....like 235 maybe 245 max with rolling.

I used a 15mm spacer for the front and rear attempting to get as wide a track as possible(it does look a little south of the border right now).

Looks are a subjective thing I won't touch on a forum.

I have a turbo in line 4 from my previous racecar thats going into my e30. It makes 300+ rearwheel ponies and weighs less then an m20.

33mm more out then that. Maybe i'll have to trade somebody spacers. -_-

I COULD run +15mm front and no spacer in the rear but that looks kinda...... crappy.

you should run 5mm in front and 10mm in back.

have you looked at 245/35/16? Toyo has the T1R in that size. I think it would look awesome if somebody could manage to fit it.

I guess i could have the spacers i have machined thinner...

or run awesome fender flares.

according to egk2 you can get 5mm hubcentric spacers from tunershop.com

Yup I run 5mm front and 10mm rear from tunershop

i'd like to avoid paying 300$ for spacers at this point. :\ but thanks for the info...
