its will be very (refer pic)

your safe bet will be the 15x7+38? odd rims they sell

i dont get it???

i want something dishy.
+38 dont cut it!!!

Sportmaxx make 15x7 in minilite style rims with a plus 15 offset mate, there the only rims u could probly use without using flared guards

 

[CMF_bongo bus]

thats what i actually wanna do. would you guys have an idea of much of a flare i will need to make the wheels fit???

8J +0 = Mexican stance, otherwise known as poke, or sticking-out-of-the-stock-guards-a-****load-itis.

With 15x7 +15 you probably won't have to do anything to the front, but the rears could well scrub unless you roll the guard lip.

i got 14x7 -8 on the front of my micra. 10hrs of decent guard work in the front alone... also im running -5 deg of camber...

so 15x8 0 is about 15mm futer out and my fron guards are pushed to the limit

and will sit about 10mm more futher out with 0 camber.

and stock guards will be even futher!!!

^^^^ so what was needed on the guards? Roll/flaring/inner guard?

I am hoping to squeeze 15x8 +25s all round. Not keen on running more than about -3 camber.

Won't work.

You should be able to squeeze in a 15x8 +25.

I had 13x7 +12 wheels on my micra, All I did was roll the guards. It all comes down to tyre choice too though. Don't expect to run 225 with those wheels, I'm thinking a 195 will cut it.

 

[CMF_adz14]

Sweet. Yeah, have some 195/45s on the way.

 

[CMF_bongo bus]

so the best bet is to for something a little more conservative with a medium offset???

Would 15x8 +20offset fit ok???

 

[CMF_xsoarerx]

khumo make 175/60 and 155/60 (i think) in 15's + 185/55's

i just dont get it... anyone care to explane???

 

[CMF_RoadsterGarage]

I think 15x8 +20 is pushing it, I guess with some camber it could work though.

 

[CMF_bongo bus]

so smaller diameter wheels would be the go???
