    Wheel Question......15x8 et25

    I'm looking to pick up some 15x8 et25 wheels with 205/45/15 tires and was wondering will I have to roll the fenders or having any rubbing issues? This is my first time buying aftermarket wheels so forgive me if this is a stupid question. Thanks in advance!

      It might be very close but you will probably need spacers in the front to clear the strut.

          I would get a 5mm hubcentric spacer and probably a 215/50 or a 225/50 personally. If the wheel doesn't have a 57.1 centerbore you are going to need hubcentric rings.

              Likely 3mm spacers to clear the front struts.

                  Alright cool......I'll get some spacers for the front, already getting hub rings, and I'll check into the 215's. I mainly just didnt want to have to roll the fenders at all.

                          Go find the part number for the H&R Trak+ spacers you want, and look them up on that site. It is generally cheaper by a few bucks. Audi hubs are the same specs as E30 hubs.

                                      This may be a dumb q. How is it that my 15x8.5 rf's clear with a 33et. Am I missing something, or doesn't 25et give a further push from the hub outward? I'm cronfuzzled.

                                      EDIT: I'm running 225/50/15 which is wider and taller than the prospective tire in to OP. Still confused.

                                      Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
                                      Lobsterbacks attack the town again

                                      Beams of darkness streak across the sky
                                      Pink rays from the ancient satellite
                                      Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.

                                                  They dont clear with an offset of 33mm.

                                                  If the wheels were originally 15x6.5 et33(is that right?) and you widened the outer lips 2inches then the offset would be alot lower, like et8
