Seeing that the NX2000 has a 40 offset, as low as 35 should be ok. My wheels are 15"X7" with a 35 offset, 205/50-15 and there is still a little space between the rear tire and the shock. 38 offset should be fine even with a 38+ with a 205 or 195 tire (too big an it could rub). Hope this helps. Cossie spnx 05-06-2002, 10:39 AM 215-45-15 T1-S, +35 offset, 15X7 Perfect. Nuff said :D Pretty White 05-06-2002, 12:14 PM To tell you the truth I think each manufacture does things their way. I have a 16X7 and it is a 40mm offset and there is plenty-o-space between the strut and tire. Wierd cause I had a 15X7 with a 40mm and a 205 and it rubbed. Wierd science for real! spnx 05-06-2002, 12:59 PM Tires are weird too. Although my tires are 215 width, they're actually 218 if you measure them. YMMV cossieturbo 05-20-2002, 12:29 AM your spot on blokes. The numbers don't always mean they are going to fit. Pain in the arse.

I am going to say it will not clear in the rear going 215 wide tires and 38mm offset, no spacers. I have 215/40 Kumhos 712s on 16" Borbet Ts with 35mm offset and it was tight, maybe 3mm from the rear struts. I didn't run it like that but have a feeling it would have rubbed under some turns or when loaded down. If you get some 1/4" (6.5mm) spacers it will fit fine. That is what I did and have no problems. They are the $7 universal spacers from Pep Boys. The spacers are thin enough to safely use the stock wheel studs. The front wheels/tires will fit without spacers. | ||
