My rims I just picked up are 15x7 with -2 offset and they stick out about 1" from the wheel well. I also have some 15x6.5 with a +7 offset for the front.

My question is in order to not make it look crazy gangbanger style should I just drop some excessive negative camber to tuck it in a bit and if I do do you think it might rub a bit on either my coilovers or the fender??

Also, should I stretch my tires a bit to tuck it in a bit even more?? I was thinking 195/45-15 tire sizes.

Please help out a wheel newb.

HAHAHAHHA! It's not gangbanger style, it's called poor taste! Sorry, I have just never heard a so cal local linking overly nasty negative offsets to gangs.

oh yeah, and negative camber shouldn't create rubbing issues on the coilover. You'll probably have to run a ton of negative camber as well as roll your fenders. But actually, it probably wont be that bad.

obviously you have never seen a crazy lowrider with wheels sticking out, but maybe im exagerating a bit.
do you think ill have to put spacers for the front wheels to even it out a bit?
