15x8 rims will they fit problem free?

[Matchew]

As above the new rims i want are 15x8 and i'll be strecthing on 195/50/15 tyres.
Im currently running 7x15 and have no problems.
Will i need spacers? Or will it be a straight swap?
Cheers in advance

Gonna have a bit of trouble there mate.

Depends on the offset and alot of other things but im sure they are going to rub a bit

 

[GTti]

Any reason why? Or just spotted a set of rims that you like?

i would personally go 205 50 15 as 195 is gonna be a bit of a squeeze, but i guess you can try and see

i wanna run 195's as the tyres will be strecthed i like that look

aye 205/50-15 is far better to a 15x8 rim than the 195 one.

also i think u gonna need a spacer..whats the offset of the wheels mate?

well just looked if they was gonna sell them as a package they would use 195 tyres. the offset if 35

 

[MentaLEP91]

hmm ok the offset seems good and out enough...

should do the trick mate, bite the bullet and go for em

 

[weakboy2]

its the right offset but may need spacing, your gonna need some very hard coilovers to stop rubbing!

next on the list fella gonna go for some bc racing ones
on its bum bum.
the ultra lites will be for track purposes spray um up some whacky colours

 

[Sparky]

On a good note it should look awsome

What wheels are they btw?

 

[weakboy2]

I said hard coilovers LOL.

BC's are as soft as a babys bum unless you can get harder springs!

What about isc ones that nick sells?

That would be telling

 

[weakboy2]

they are stiffer those ISC, i'm pretty sure they are similar to D2's but with a harder spring rate

so what would you recommend then fella?

 

[weakboy2]

i think it depends how far out the wheels are goin to stick from the arches, problem is if you want it slammed, any slight bump is gonna make the wheels catch the arches

so ideally you need the stiffest springs going lol, just make the ride awful thats the problem

I want a nice ride height to compliment the rims, if need be i would roll the arches, so it would be a case of try it and see.

Where would i get spacers from?

 

[Sparky]

H&R do the hubcentric spacers for the Starlet

Check Ebay USA, thats where SiCaln got them from I believe
