Wheel fitment thread- post your will this fit questions in here

[slipp]

Thanks Geoff. I want the wheels to fill up the guards with the wheels tucked under the guards - probably a lightly negative offset as well.

The image below is exactly the look I'm after, would anyone know what sort of wheels specs these are by eye?



Edit**
So I just found the source of this image online and it looks like the specs are:
Font wheels 15×9″ -15.
Rear wheels 15×10″ -25

Would the following specs a) look similar to this (ie look good) and b) fit with unmodified guards that are only rolled?
Font wheels 15×8″ 0.
Rear wheels 15×8.5″ -5

Thanks again for any help.

You won't go wrong with those sizes mate

From my experience you'd need a stretched tyre on the rear with a guard roll and fronts would need a roll aswell.
The rear wheel bead will be dead on the stock wheel arch, as will the front depending on camber setting

I'm pretty excited I've just ordered 15x8 -6 front and 15x8 -18 for the rear on stock trueno coupe gards I think I might need a good stretch to fit I was hoping to go 195 50 but may have to go 185 50 what are your thoughts. Also rolled guards pretty hard and I'm not slamming the car top of tyre will be just tucking thanks guys

15x8 -18 will poke about 15mm each side. 195/50 will be pushing it depending on how stiff your springs are.

Looking at getting some 15s for my AE86. Wanting to know whats the biggest tire and/or rim width I can fit under stock rear guards with rolled lips. Id imagine low + offset on a 7/7.5/8???

Was looking at 225/55/15 tires,

[dove grey 64]

8" zero offset is as far as sensible goes in my opinion. You can go wider with a positive offset (keeping in line with guard) ie. 9" +25 will still fit like a 8" zero
James' panda coupe has 205/50/15 on 15" zero rims. Inner lip rolled, sits nice

^ awesome help dovey - gives me something to work with when looking for wheels ")

I was thinking of going ~ +20/25 or so to get the track in as much as possible but with the widest width as im drag racing

but then again is rim width that important if I can still fit a 225 on a 7" rim? smaller rim = less weight and more sidewall flex????

[dove grey 64]

Should be fine for a street drag car. Get a 185 for the fronts for less rolling resistance though.

For drag you want a bit of sidewall, id go 15x7 0 to +10 with a 225/50
