#326533 hey guys i want to get the drag dr54 rims without having to get new tires.. the tires i have now are 205/50/r15. i want that look where the rim sticks out of the tire a little bit. i heard thats called negative offset or something. do i have to get a smaller tire or bigger rim that 15 to do so??

#326536 if you are not wanting to get new tires then you will need a 15x7 inch rim

offset will push the whole wheel out of the wheel well.

Rim poking out of the tire is called tire stretch.

205/50R15 is the correct tire for a 15x7 rim, so it will not stretch. If you want stretch, you will need to go 15x8 (or wider depending on how extreme you want to go)

I'd do a lot of research before buying a set of rims/tires that may not properly fit your car.
