        Hmmm, those are actually pretty nice prices. What's the offset for a late model and 225s and 8" wide.

          15X8 BLANKS ET22 SIL K1 RACING * $199.00
          15X8 BLANKS ET32 SIL K1 RACING * $199.00

          ... im assuming you're talking about these. I would say with the 22et you would have some rubbing issues on the outside, especailly with 225's. 32et would be a safe bet, though not sure how close that will get you to the strut and shock.

            Even with the ET22 and 15x8" wheels you're looking at possible strut rubbing.

              I have the 15x8 et 22 and there are no problems with the front rubbing, tires are 225/50/15.

              THe rear I rolled just a bit.

                I run 15x7 with 225/50 with no rubbing as well.

                  hmmmm......


                  Current Wheel Width inches Current Wheel Offset mm
                  New Wheel Width inches New Wheel Offset mm

                  15x7 et25 to 15x8 et22:

                  The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 10mm LESS
                  The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 16mm



                  What about going with ET12? That'd be exactly the same to the strut housing as a ET25 7inch wheel.

                    Yeah, but then you'd really have to roll the fenders to make sure it fits under there.

                    Damn, I have been wanting those wheels for a while, I called Jim and we left messages back and forth, he said he had them in, but never gave me a price. I was expecting $199, but $169 is a bargain! Now everyone here is going to have those wheels... :roll:

                      yeah well.....i don't want to damage my flawless paint by rolling the fenders.....

                      hahhaha.


                      I'd probably go down to nashville. :twisted: and rent the use of a roller, and have a friend help me. Somehow I think their help would make it fit fine.......

                            These rims have been common knowledge for a while (even the blanks), I wouldn't expect them to get THAT common on E30s.

                              Not E30 "common knowledge" but I don't expect them to be "common"
                              Koseis are already common for E30s at the track, but for online....meh. I don't think as many people will be OMGHI2U as with Ronals or Kopis.
