Wheel Specs 16x9 ET15

[n8e30]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone's got some experience / help with this - I'm thinking of buying some 16x9 ET15 wheels but I've heard issues about clearing front struts without a spacer. 5mm seems to be the consensus for what is minimally acceptable, anyone have any insight on this?

For tyre size I'm planning to run a 205/45/16 without having lowered the car - I'm hoping to get away with no camber for this... some arch rolling might be needed.

If anyone knows how this wheel size SHOULD be run or has any advice that they can suggest for this wheel / tyre combo, anything would be appreciated!

P.S for those running this, what is the ride like? Can I expect it to be much much worse or just slightly different?

Thanks!

I'll also add that I'm considering a 215/45/16 tyre too

I also have 16x9 on rear and lowered and it rubs all the time

It's to low then raise it up so it doesn't. I'm on bc coilovers and not slammed. It's lower but not on its belly
