Posted July 22, 200519 yr comment_131598 I know I'm crazy, but I've found another beautifull set of JDM wheels and I'm sorely tested!The fronts are 15 X 7 @ 0 and I know they fit, but the rears are 15 X 8 @ 0, I'm I'm not too sure... Any body running 15X8 @0 on a stock (non coilover) car? http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=113064Wouldn't these look F'N HOTTT??!?!

July 23, 200519 yr comment_131613 They will hit the guards long before they hit the shocks/springs. With only 195's on there, I would think they would fit, or might require minor lipping of the guards. I used to run 235 14's on a 0 offset rim and needed to lip the guards, but there was room for more on the spring side.

July 23, 200519 yr comment_131656 A 225/50 or narrower should fit on all 4 corners with out rubbing on either side of the tire. The 8" rim with 0 offset (4.5" backspace) should be fine on the rear without flaring or coilovers. with a 225 do not go over a 50 series or you could start rubbing. The offset of the wheel will determine if the tire will rub more than the width of the wheel. The MKIII is one awesome wheel I hope you can get them for you car I think they will look great.
