    Awesome, I actually edited out asking if I should get those from my original post. Thanks!

      Quick question for you guys since you know much more about these cars than I do, especially since I've only had mine a few weeks: What size wheel studs should I order? I have studs on there now (I didn't put them on, so I don't know which ones they are) that worked fine when I was running spacers, but unfortunately I can't get the caps on my DZ1s after removing them. What size/brand should I be looking for?

        Thanks for the response! What kind of roll, if any, would I need to put down with that? I forget if I mentioned i'm wearing 205/50. Does it matter if I buy cheap hub rings too, or should I go for the legit gb custom ones?

          I plan on running 14" Basketweaves (14x6.5", ET30) but I want them to be as flush as possible. I already have the fenders pulled to the max so what size spacers should I run front and rear?

            16x7.5 offset 20 in front, 16x9 offset 15 in back, was thinking 205/45 in front and 215/45 in the rear. Not really a fan of the stretched look, would 225/40 be doable in the rear without rolling the fenders?

            This will be on KYB/Vogtlands, about a 1.5" drop all around.

            Thanks!

              About to buy some winter tires for a set of bottlecaps I picked up for this winter.

              I recently put on h&r OE sports/billies(w/e90 drophats) and want to know whats a good size tire for winter beater wheels?

              Mostly just want to make sure I wont be rubbing (doubt it will be an issue considering i have considerable wheel gap still.

              185/70? Maybe 185/65?

              Also, recommendations for cheaper-end winter tires would be great. I have been looking at firestone winterforce ones simply because they are cheap and look half-decent.

              Thanks in advance

                Help! I'm looking to get a 17x8 and a 17x9 wheel. What size tires for a semi stretched look, and what offset should I be looking for?

                Im lowered on Ground Controls. I want a semi-poke flush look.

                Offsets are killing me! Thanks.
                I got a fender roller now! LMK if you need me to roll your fenders or want to rent the tool from me locally.

                  Also, for bottlecaps...can I keep my 15mm spacers front and rear on? i imagine this is a stupid question but figured i would ask anyway

                    yes no issues spacing the bottlecaps

                      I think I messed up. I'm running the Hartge "Type A" wheels (16x7.5) +10 with spacers all around and was previously running on some Hankook RS2 215/45s?

                      I got new tires and they are the Yokohama S Drives in 205/50/16 and I have some rubbing on dips and some fender line rubbing when making full turns. Should I bite the bullet and sell them and get 205/45s or can I make the 50s work. My fenders are rolled but do not know to what extent

                        got a 16x9 rear et 15 with 10mm spacer in the back (215/40/16)

                        for a 16x7.5 et 20 with 10mm spacer up front, what tires would I need? thanks!

                          Cheap rings are fine, but if you're planning to see a track get metal ones.

                          You should be fine with the 205/50 without rolling.

                            Huge ones. 25mm front 30mm rear, and there will still be a little bit of space.

                              215/45 will appear less stretched than a 225/40 due to the extra sidewall. Both qill require fender rolling though.

                                185/70 is ideal, but the 65 will do the job. The Winterforce tires are actually quite good.
