205/60/15 mattering on offset, suspension, etc.

Maybe 225/55/15 assuming the above are near ideal.

That wheel is highly desireable by the off-road crowd.

dude, i dont even want to put them on. lol. ive been trying to sell them for like 6 months, brand new. but since i need a winter set up its lookin like im usin em unless someone wants.

so 205/60/15? i dont have any susp upgrades or anything, college is makin sure of that.

What's your car specifically and what is the offset on the rims?

AlbanianImpreza · 08-31-2009, 10:52 AM

00 RS coupe and dont know the offset, it doesnt even give it on the rim. its some bs rims i found in the house when i moved in, theyre brand new, mopar 5x100s

Well, you'd need to measure it or mount it and take a picture at least. Offsets can vary greatly.

Have you tried fitting these rims btw? Just because they're 5x100 doesn't mean the hubs are right. Or the offset for that matter.

this is what 205/60/15 look like on a GC

AlbanianImpreza · 08-31-2009, 12:35 PM

yeah mine dont look like that on the car. it pokes out like an inch.

mosc · 08-31-2009, 02:26 PM

Sounds like way too little offset. Hard to tell without any information but it's quite possible that they simply will not work.

AlbanianImpreza · 08-31-2009, 04:13 PM

yeah i checked it again. ill tighten the bolts and push it completely back next time.
