      I'm guessing this is pretty standard fit, but i'm looking at

      15x8 +25 with 205/50 (i'm currently on Style 10s, 15x7 +24)

      Fender rolling needed? I'm on Billy Sports with H&R race. Offset FCAB for some camber, that's it. Otherwise unremarkable. It's mainly a DD with some canyon runs and an occasional auto-x.

        I'm not Mystikal, but from the looks of those specs you will be fine.

            any insight on 16x9.5 et 15 (after adapters)?

            Bilstein sport GC coil over kit 450f, 700r

            late model fenders, rears rolled

            currently run 15x8 et 17 with 225/45 no problem

            I'm hoping to run either a 215/45 or 225/45 on the new wheel setup

              I'd like to know whats my limit before having to pull the fenders, mind you the car will be
              on air suspension.

              I was thinking and please do advice, 16x8.5 Fronts 16x9.5 Rears I am not too sure of what offset the wheels should be given the sizes. Also tire sizes, I know a lot of you here aren't into this form of fitment but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

                Rodrigo, what're the offsets on the wheels and are you going with a slim bag or double bellow?

                  I'm doing Airlift Performance series struts with double bellows, I don't know what offsets to do because I am getting a set of 3pc rotiforms built for the car and I haven't ordered yet because I don't know what offset to run before I have to do major body work. I really don't want too.

                    3mm front spacers, otherwise good to go.

                      Fronts will likely to get down to +7 or so to clear the front perches. If you keep the rears at +15, 205/45 front 215/45 rear is possible.

                          If I were to get Salad shooters and 5x120 adapters, would I need longer wheel bolts or would the stock ones work? I have extra wheel bolts laying around.

                          Also the tires on the wheels I'm looking at are 255/50 would I need to roll my fenders? And anything else that goes into installing these wheels I'm not aware of?

                            Not nearly enough info for me here.

                              Thanks mystikal, for sharing your wisdom, sorry if I leave any important info out, I'm new to this. I'm looking to get staggered borbet type a's (16x7.5 et15 in the front/16x9 et20 rears) for my 91 vert. I'm about to go through the suspension, and will probably go with billy sports and h&r springs for about a 1 1/4 inch drop. My question is what tires and spacers should I run to fill everything out nicely? (I don't mind rolling my fenders a little, and I am not a fan of stretch)
