Thanks! Its not for a performance aspect, I just honestly want to have a nice set of wide wheels especially the SSR's, love a fat lip on SP1's! I'm ordering another set of wheels for that setup, more than like they'll be some Enkei RPF1's, thanks again zoopreme.

yeah 0 offset = molestation

I have seen pics of an s14 kouki on some xxrs that were 15s I liked the look. But I want to fit some 225 on there. I want the wider footprint. hard to find the pics i saw. I tried. Even googled. This was a loooong time ago mind you :/ I tried looking for something with a higher (gasp I know) offset but I really can't find anything i like.... without spending $1000 on rims alone. I have lost my 240 ways... been dabbling in the miata realm And I know 15x7 won't fit the 225s. All the 15x8s are crazy low offsets. I was at one point okay with rolling fenders, but I have changed my mind. might just throw some tires on the stock mesh 15s :/

Sup.

My car is decently low. Actually it's pretty damn low but not so much slammed as some other people's car. Anyways, I'm running 225/40 on a 9.5J right now and wondering how much more of a difference going to a 215/40 would make? I basically rub the top of the wheel arc after every bump. I have thought about 215/35 but would prefer the 215/40 probably. I'm aware tire brand will make a difference but a general estimation would be nice. I'm running a 225/40 Federal 595 and would consider keeping it a federal or something along those lines.

See if anyone can help me out.

Have cobra reps 17x9 +25 front wheels coming and i have evo brembos up front. Right now im running 17x9.5 +15 battles that clear the brakes.

My question is how big of a spacer will i need to clear the brembo's with the cobra reps?

Was thinking a 15mm but not sure. When i get the wheels, ill measure it by putting washers on the studs to space them out but just trying to see if anyone can help me out to see if im close to the right spacer.

I had 215/40 dunlop and federal and the difference is noticeable where the feds rubbed and dunlop didnt. So yes try a 215/40 just not federal.

Somebody correct me if im wrong but, in theory you shouldnt need any additional spacer considering there is only roughly a 2mm difference in question. Your battles are 1/2in. wider than the reps coming in right?
But the reps have +10mm difference, so if 25.4mm=1in. then half of that is like 12.7mm. the difference between 12.7 and 10mm is 2.7mm which is very little. Again, somebody feel free to chime in.

If you look at the battles, you would see that they are concave while the reps arent.

If you're referring to the XXR's, yes, you will need spacers. The spoke design doesn't accommodate Z32 brakes.

Federals tend to run bigger than posted spec. So by theory, you're really running a 235/40.

Like the frsh4 said, feds rubbed & dunlops didn't. The reason is because they run bigger than other brands.

Try 215/40 Feds, if they still rub, jump ship to 215's on another brand like Dunlop.

35 sidewalls is a bit of an overkill for stretching. Keep it at a 40.

Well, without the spacers, you will have 4mm less inner clearance than you had before. And 16mm outer clearance from the fender.

I'm not 100% but don't Cobras clear big brake kits? Is this an issue of disc design?

Anyway, I think a 15mm should be fine.

Simply put...FUCK NO. Sometimes, even regular disk faced Work wheels I've had, I had to run 8mm spacers. If its a low disk, expect to run atleast 11-13mm spacers.

Low disk VS-KFs...had to run 13mm spacers...

depending on your roll/pull they should fit.

try them. It shouldnt be too hard to figure out once you get them on

You may find problems with the fronts. I wouldn't know how to make them fit aside from spacers.

That kind of fitment is fine but it all depends how low you want your car. If the car is moderately lowered, a roll & pull will tuck the rear tire at best.

The fronts are fine as well. Just do all necessary things to fix the inner fender & harness.
