Re: Wheel spacers
just i was off by 10mm,
oem steel wheels are 14x5.5+45 on EKs (some were 14x5+45
and after reading,
i see you want to run 15x7+25
if you were to run the 195/50 on these and 195/60 on the steelies,
The steelies can be spaced 40mm+ to be flush with the new set and still not rub with rolled fenders and stock upper control arms
you dont need to run 195s on 7"+25 wheels,
im currently running 205s on 8"+18

Awesome input... Thank you sir...
But you are right, for the price of good spacers I could almost buy a full set of the wheels I want... FUUUU... So pretty much this thread was pointless but alternate agenda achieved...

Re: Wheel spacers
depending upon how low you want to go. 15x7+25 with 205/50 with just the very top of the tread tucking will allow you to drive aggressively with minimal rubbing. i ran driftwater with 205/45s on 16x8+18 at 13.6" ride height

Re: Wheel spacers
I was planning on running a 195/50 b/c I like the semi stretch look... I do plan on going low... Maybe not stupid low b/c of my love for backroads and slight off-road driving...

Re: Wheel spacers
i just took some measurements for a buddy who is going to be running 15x7 with 195/50 and it came out to +18 offset. allows you to tuck about 1cm of tread with a tiny bit of room for camber correction if you wish, or simply a little more room to go lower (another .5cm) without rubbing.
