New 15x8 wheel coming!

[bwh13]

Qship you can post the pics I sent you. After looking at them again I realize it really wasn't that much sticking out, looks the same as the other pic posted. I just thought they would be all under the fender...

The shop knew I wasn't making it a track car now, and the wheels/tires weren't on there when they did the alignment so they weren't aware of any issue at the time. I'll have to see how it works with the camber that way for now.

Here some pic from a member on baye30 and here (if the owner want me to take pics down let me know):

Didn't see the official word on 16x8s coming to TR - can we expect that?

The owner of that car said he couldn't go with a wider tire because it would hit the strut. I thought these were made to be able to run wide tires? Do early vs. late cars have different diameter struts?

You guys are fuckin killing me!

There's no "i told you so" smiley?

[speedblind]

Is there a "all the people running 225 r-tires on 15x8 wheels would politely disagree" smiley?

[cheades]

I have 225/50 RS2's that fit with lots of clearance to the strut (these 225's are wider than my 225 RA-1's), so I think that owner was smoking crack when saying he couldn't get a wider tire.

I also used to run 15" x 7.5" ACT LS et25 with 225.50.15 RA1s and never had any rubbing with the struts.

I must say w/ 225/50 15 RA1's...Im supercloseto my tubes w/ 15 x 7 K1's.....I think they are et 25 or 27...I cant recall.....

[Massive Lee]

K1s are et27. 2mm more inward

[JRKOUPE]

K1s are et27. 2mm more inward

True.... mi amigo......but......

a 7.5 ACT is also approx. 6.3 mm closer to tube( as its 12.7 mm wider). So take into account the offset( 25)....and Im thinking the ACT sits approx 4 mm closer.
