    Picking tires...

    Hey guys, first time posting on here. I'm about to order some enkei pf05s in 15x8 et25 and am trying to figure out the whole tires and spacers situation. Car is currently lowered on h&r super sports w bilstein b8s. pretty new to offset and all that so any help would be great, thanks!

    Alloy Wheel & tyre fitment calculator - it calculates inset, poke, speedo error, tyre stretch and loads more.


    type in the stock size, type in the new size, see where they sit.

        that spoke design may not require spacers at all and just might clear the brake caliper. unless you want it to be more flush.

            I'm running enkei 92's with the same specs and it hits the caliper. a 3mm spacer suffices but I used 5mm at first and now have 10mm. In both cases my fenders made contact while turning into a driveway. I was on IE3(H&R race equivalent) at the time.
