Wheel fitment Question 15x8

[GooneriC]

Has anyone run 15x8 ET15 Rear and 15x7 ET15 Fronts ? Any issues with fitment ? What size tyres , can i go with 205/55/15 without any issues? Car is lowered 1.6" front and 1.4" rear

15x7J is the standard size for the fronts, but ET15 is right on the lower limit so you might need something like a 5mm spacer depending on your suspension setup, to prevent the wheel rubbing.

Running 15x7 on ET13 with 205/50/15 tyres with no issues which taking into consideration the extra width of the rim and ET I think they should fit without a problem.

15x7J is the standard size for the fronts, but ET15 is right on the lower limit so you might need something like a 5mm spacer depending on your suspension setup, to prevent the wheel rubbing.

Et15 means the wheel centre will already be 9mm further out of the car than a standard. An extra inch width means half an inch added either side of the wheel. Half an inch is 12.7mm...

So, an 8x 15 et15 wheels inner edge will sit 3.7mm closer to the inner arch than a standard 7x15 et24 bbs. I very much doubt clearances are tight enough to need a spacer, if you did, a 3mm shim spacer would be plenty, but be aware that even without a spacer the outer lip will be sitting 21.7mm further out towards the arch than the standard wheel, which is far more likely to cause clearance issues.

205 55 15 is the standard size, if you're keeping the same width tyres then the only difference will be that the tyre sits 9mm further out than standard.

I doubt this will cause any issues at all, but with lowered suspension you could probably get away with a 205 50 without the big arch gap you get running that size on a standard car.

My other option is 15x8 ET 25 front and back , how would that sit with a similar lowered set up?

anyone? I have come across a good deal on 2 sets of wheels , first set are ET15 , second set 15x8 ET25.. need to know if 15x8 ET25 will work front and rear
