New 15x8 wheel coming!

[Highway1]

What tire and what springs?

Sumitomo HTR 200 with IE III springs and a wee little m42. They are a bit big for my taste but $450 for wheels and tires I'm not complaining. i'm thinking of going to a 205/50/15. if i do i'll sell these tires real cheap.

205/55 is stock diameter, not 205/50.

1" undersized + 4.10 in a M20 is still stupid short and nearing uselessness.

i dont really agree. im putting in a 4.10 because i find my 3.73 stupid long. im also gonna be upgrading my m20 so that it can rev a bit higher and make better use of the shorter gearing.

shorter gearing is mostly beneficial on cars with big turbos so you can load the turbo well. on NA, shorter is usually faster.

yeah but dont forget that a 225/50 is taller than a 205/50. a 225/45 should but about the same as a 205/50.

It's 225/45/15, that last thing I need is a gearing advantage.

Or more fender gap.

If you are an M42 or M20, yeah, the gearing advantage could help you a bit around the cones and such. The last thing I want with an S52 and G260 is an even shorter first and second gear.

I saw that on tirerack. Seems like a better size compared to 225.50.15.

HK RS-3. that's a good option in 225.

The RS2 was great. Wonder if RS3 improves on that greatness?

[guibo09]

Looks beefy.

Just wish there were more options in 225/50

225/50r15.
required very little fender rolling in the rear

Was linked to this thread.

The 15x8 are a direct fitment with 205.50.15 or 225.50.15? Thinking maybe going with a 40 or 45 series may be better with the 225 though.

I just want a flat hubcap that will work with these wheels. surprised no one has found one

failed to find one. looked through the internet multiple times with no success.

[guibo09]

Me too. just picked up a set and the inner diameter of the caps are 60mm. where do i get caps that size? all the caps i search for give outer dimension rather than the inner.
does anyone know if these will these fit?

no they dont. i bought some similar ones in carbon fibre, and they are about 2mm too big.

im gonna pry off the logo and using some creativity, merge them with TR caps (after chopping off the raised ragged part).
