    Default 225 tyres, on 15x8

    gday.
    wanting to run some 225s,
    would a 15x8 0 offset fit 225s in, stock or lightly rolled guards ?

    what offset and width could i run in the rear to run big tyres ?

    cheers.

    15x8 0 is not quite right for either end of an ae86.

    I bought some wheels that had 215s on them, they were 15x7 staggered fins, I think zero front and plus 13 rear. I have a set of 8s but they are -6/-8 offset southernways and the fronts fit nicely with a good flush look on a stock front flare and xt130 lca but the rears were 20mm out of the arches each side. I have mx13 diff so maybe would be 16mm wider than the arches per side on a stock diff.

    15 x 8 +/- 0 with a 205/50 will fit with some rolling. a 225/50 will require some more serious work.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    ok thanx guys.

    LRS, yeh for sure wont fit 8" 0's in if those 7"+13's sit like that on the rear.

    looks like im going to have to do some measuring and make sure what i can fit. will be staggered.
    i have a 215 in the front already. but on a 7" rim.
    im sure ill be able to fit some 225s in the rear with the right offset on 8".

    cheers.

    15x8 plus 25 and you should be far enough inside.

    I've run 195/50/15 R888 and the stretch wasn't that bad. You might be able to fit 225's with +12 offset wheels and some bodywork modications.
