This is 15x8.5 plus 17 with 195/50r15 tires. Wheels are Klutch SL1.

Basically what you want will fit. You can't tell from this picture but the rear is something like 8 degrees of camber to fit them this low. My quarter panels and fenders are rolled and I have trimmed by rear bumper slightly to avoid the tire rubbing it. You can do the trimming with a razor blade its really easy. I got tired of how bad the car handled with this setup and changed to something that didn't have so much offset.

If you run stretched tires to get the stanced look you need to keep an eye on you tire pressure daily. Driving even a few psi low on a really stretched tire can lead to debeading which can ruin a nice wheel. Excessive stretch isn't the best idea but when running stretched tires air pressure is your friend to make sure the tire stays on the bead. Google stretched tire horror stories to see what I'm talking about. I've had several friends do it to expensive wheels.

Good luck!

If you do go for that look don't buy into the camber kills tires hype. Camber only effects how much of the tire actually contacts the ground so that limited part touching will wear at the tread rating of the tire you buy (ie: 300AA), but it will only wear out what touches the pavement so they will wear uneven. When you get your alignment have them set the front and rear at zero toe to prevent premature wear of the tires.

Good luck those wheels should look really nice. :thumb: Just be ready to play with your ride height and camber to get them sitting perfect.

Oh yea I've seen these wheels on a couple egs I don't have a picture but they fit awesome. 15x8 plus 20

- Mon Aug 31, 2015 6:02 am #355636 as most of you know i decided to get the ESM 15x8+15
Can some you please post pics or tell me which tire will be more beneficial, i will roll the fenders and be dropped about 3.5 inches maybe 4 idk yet.

Is anyone using a 175/50 or 165/50 tire on a 15x8 i would like to see how it looks or hear your suggestions

Thanks
