- Sat Jun 07, 2008 8:47 pm #57756 I will be lowering my car on skunk2 springs ( About a 2inch drop). I want to get this: http://www.buywheelstoday.com/products/ ... tal%29.bwt
... The sportmax 002... I want the 15x8 exactly. Now the question I need help with is... Can I put these rims on and not have issues about rubbin or not have to worry about rollin the fenders? I know they have the 15x7... but the actual lip is half the size on the 15x7 ..

Thanks!

- Sat Jun 07, 2008 9:58 pm #57762 the offset of the 15x8 is +25 and it may require rolling fenders.

It's not too difficult and there is only one way to really find out.

- Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:32 pm #57764 How would you recomend rolling the fenders? should I do it the old school way with a baseball bat or actually get the tool for it? So after I roll the fenders, will everything be alright? Or will I also have a little bit of shock rub?

- Sun Jun 08, 2008 5:24 pm #57809 the offset on the 15x8 on these is a +0....roll your fenders and your gonna half to have over 3.5 degrees of negative camber ....+20 or +25 offset it good but +0 is gonna be difficult to pull off without rubbing

- Mon Jun 09, 2008 1:33 am #57819 DAMN! So even rolling the fenders I will still have rubbing? ... Damit.. What is the cons of having negative camber... just messed up tires?

- Mon Jun 09, 2008 2:16 am #57828 you will need to find those rims with a +25 offset. They make them, those will just need fender rolling. The 0 offset ones wont really work for you.

- Mon Jun 09, 2008 5:28 pm #57868 the sportmax 501's are 15x8 +15 offset...that would be a little easier to tuck

yeah... here they are.. they look sweeet... I just want to make sure with you guys that if i get the sport max 501 15x8 with +15 offset, I wont have any shock rubbing if I roll the fenders. Is this correct or no?

- Tue Jun 10, 2008 7:55 pm #58028 u will need to have a little negative camber...not sure how much...what size tires would u plan on running?....caue 205/50's would be a little strechted on a 15x8
