    Keep us posted.

    I was going to lug my 16x9s back from Ireland next time I'm home, but these 15x9s are far more like the fitment/tire size I'm after.

    Be sure to post photos once you've mounted them!

      This is 15x9 et12 6UL wheels, Tungsten finish, with 225/45 Hankook RS4.

      3mm spacers in the front give me 4mm of strut clearance.

      GC coilovers.

      Slight rubbing in the right-rear, which is weird because this car had 245s on 5 lug a few years ago and the fenders were rolled to fit. Resolved with a baseball bat adjustment of the inner fender lip.

      Weight of the tire+wheel is 33.8lbs, exactly the same as before with the smaller 215's on 8 inch TRM C1's.

      Tires seem fine so far.

        FYI, these wheels are no longer for sale.
        Out of stock, and no plan to restock. Too bad, i was really looking forward to ordering a set.

          Dan at 949 says it's more like they're between production runs.

          These will clear 300x22 BBK easily and probably the 300x32 as well.

            Direct from the source:
            “We are fresh out. No ETA for the next batch at this time.

            Cheers,
            Dan“

            I also contacted Jongbloed. They are planning to release a 4x100 15x9 +20 closer to the end of the year. I most likely will wait for those unless 949 magically does another run.

              Ooh, Jongbloeds would be cool. +20 would require quite a bit of spacer, though.

                Not too bad. I’m guessing 12-15mm in the front and 8mm rear.
                Basically getting it to the same offset as the 6UL. Fronts just need a little more spacer than rear for BBK

                  Hate dragging up old threads, but anyone using the Spec E30 wheel that is 15x7 and what tire combo are you using? Wanted to see if anyone is doing this with no spacers also...

                    I'm running 205 50s dunlop star spec 2's, the front fit to the fender good, the back really could use a spacer. Then again if I could do it all over id run an 8 in front and 9 in the rear. Looking to get rid of them
