Dont know if this can go here or not but I have a question about wheel fitment on a B13.

Can a 15 X 7 with a 20 offset fit with no spacers or rubbing issues?
Also will be using a 205/50-15 tire.

Thanks for any info.

The lower the offset the more the wheel will stick out, the higher the offset the closer it will be to the suspension and brakes. So the setup you are asking about will 100% clear the suspension and brakes, leaving more room than the stock B13 14" SE-R wheels. It will also stick out 35 mm (1.4'') farther than stock. You can play with wheel offsets here.

What this means is that the tire will not rub/hit the suspension on the inside BUT the tire will most likely rub against the fender when you corner or go over bumps.

So to answer your question - No you cannot use a 15x7 with 20mm offset with no spacers or rubbing issues.

Thanks Guys, Yeah I was wondering about clearing the rear suspension and then rubbing the fenders, mainly the rears.

I know I was running a 20 offset on my 240 with a little neg camber so I was thinking it would rub the fenders.

What offset will fit the rims/tires pretty flush without rubbing issues?
Does anybody know off hand?

I'm wondering how much to keep it off the strut perches and then not rub the fenders.

I could sit and play with the calculator but that really doent tell me how much room we have for fitment, without rubbing.

Thanks again!
