I'm running my car on d2 coilovers and wonder if anyones running a similar offset to me. I was looking to get tyres 175/50/15s to get alittle stretch on the tyre to clear the arches. I researched that ppl run 15x7j with a low offset with 165/50/15 tyres to get that stretch look and to definitly clear the arches.

Does anyone run asimilar setup, does it rub on the front arch?

I wouldnt run any tire smaller than a 195 on those rims. tire stretching is very unsafe, and easier to damage the rim.
