size and offset would be needed so we can help you out.

those rims dont rub at all. alot of people are on coilovers and have no problems. i want to get the same rims but i have to get rid of mine first.

fachiro1

they will rub if the lip is outside the fender......if you are lowered , they will rub even more..............he's right, you gotta look at the offset and the lip...........

sqratch

are u guys with the +0 offset rubbing without rolling your guys' fenders??? i really want these as well.

2tone_xB

whoa. you're telling how
the rims are and you don't
even have them?


i'm running the 15x8 +0's
with 205/50/15 tires. on coils
with a 2 1/2" drop and rub on
bumps/dips. when there's passengers
in the rear...better turn up your music loud.



i started to roll my fenders today.
not sure how much it helped but it's something.

even if they were completely flat,
they stick out the fender, so neg. camber
should be the next thing.

Have you considered taking out the OTG shims Zach? I'd try that before camber...

NBXB006

so basically im screwed? no matter what i do i will have rubbing issues correct? that suxz cuz those wheels are so sweet and the price is nice

2tone_xB

actually i haven't D.
if i do get camber, i'll try it out.
thanks.

i won't say you're screwed
but depending on what your drop is,
you'll see from there.

i
well right now my box is stock..just been holding out compiling a list of the parts i want..and of course those wheels are on it..i didnt wanna do the coilover thing..was thinking goldlines but i would settle w h techs for the lowest drop ill accept....newbie questio but what would camber shims exactly do for the set-up? anyone have these on stock springs?

sqratch

man i hella want these in gold. not sure if i wanna do the whole fender rolling thing, yet i wanna be dumped. what do u owners think the lowest drop u can do with these wheels?

Here is the deal, if you wanna run these wheels you have to realize that youll have to make sacrifices. Some people just ride around rubbing all day and some modify their suspension and fenders to make it work.

With a simple 1 inch TRD drop you wont rub much, but when you go up driveways at an angle and things like that it will rub.

2tone_xB

^^^ true

and in my opinion,
the wheels won't look that
great with stock height or a 1" drop.

i should be at 2 1/2",
and still look high for me.
changes the look a lot.

whats tha worst that can happen when it rubs??...tire wear yeah but anyting besides that??...n does havin thoze cf flares really make a differences??...wouldnt tha tires rub on tha flares as well??

You'll love em when you get them in gold. I have a set but still waiting to put everything on. They're just sitting in my bedroom for now. They're nice and clean though. Didn't like em at first, but hey my girl wanted them plus its her xB.

NBXB006

BUMP for more opinions & suggestions..thanks for the help so far..just hoping i can get these andmake it somewhat daily drivable...i've never have had wheels that rubbed..so when its stated "they rub".. what exactly is the tire rubbing against?what kind of damage does it cause? could i blow a tire?any wobbling or excessive tire wear? also does anyone have pics of the 15x7 versions..i still havent seen any pics..thanks

thechef

what size do you want? i got the 18's on goldline springs and everything is fine.

hotbox05

the 18's arent 8 inch wide with 0 offset.....

Boxer_Rebellion

I'll post up my new wheels when they arrive later this week... 15x7, 20 offset, 15 ibs.

nnnickkk

im taking delivery on my box tomorrow and i am also looking at getting these wheels in 15x8. i dont know what offset to get or what kind of drop. 2tone, what suspension setup you running?
