    Awesome, thank you! I looked all over philstireservice.com, not sure how I missed it!

    Do the 15x9 have the same cool concave face of the 15x10? I'm nearly set on running 15x9f/15x8r on my MINI, but cannot decide between these or 6UL's. 15x8's are out of stock on the Jongbloed's, but they are cheaper, look better, and come in black which my wife demands...

    My other conundrum is 225/45/15 RS3 v2 or 205/50/15 RE-71R's...

      I see everyone is running spacers, is this because they are required for strut fitment or for another reason?

        It's for suspension clearance. I am running 20mm up front with 275/35 Hoosiers and I can barely stick a piece of paper between the tire and strut tube.

              In the original post I see 15x10 ET15. have the wheel specs changed over the years as phils is listing an ET10 now? all be it, not in stock sadly. With no idea of how long this has been this way, could a 20mm spacer now be used instead of a 25?

                  Do you guys think going from a 225/45/15 RS-3 to the 245/40/15 RS-4 on a 15x8 et 20 would be worth while or even fit without spacers? I'm worried it would rub as I have rubbing while running 16x7.5 225/45/16 et 15 in the rear inner wheel well. No rubbing on the 225/45/15 on 15x8's though. I would imagine a would need a spacer to get off the strut though.

                    would love to know this + how the RS4 behaves! re71R/rival-s gummy or RS3/rival/starspec tough

                      Just curious if anyone had noted calliper clearance to the spokes with these wheels. Can the Rx7 brakes fit??

                          I sent an email to Jongbloed about brake fitment and Ryan confirmed the Wilwood FLSI w/ 11.75" rotors will clear. My setup is custom, but ~170mm from hub center line to farthest extent of the caliper. I don't know how this setup compares in size to the RX7 brakes, but you can probably find the necessary information somewhere online.

                          I'm guessing the FLSI are larger due to the fact my friend is running them on his FD RX7 track car.

                          Question for the rest of you: has anyone tested any of the 245/40R15 200 TW tires on the new +10 offset 15x10s? I'm curious if a 20mm spacer is still required.
