Wheel experts, will these wheels fit?

[haromaster87]

Okay, I went through all the old wheel dimension threads that came up in a search, got some dimensions, did some calculations, and came to this...

I will have these rims up front reguardless...

15x7 Weld Prostar knockoffs by Summit (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2D521%2D5734PS&N=700+400304+320041+4294755964+115&autoview=sku)

I checked and there about identical to the dimensions of the 10 hole. They just sit inwards about 6mm more. Not a problem up front. I'll only run 235/60/R15's or 225/60/R15's. Just in case though, does anyone see any reason that may cause a problem?

And for the back, I was origionally thinkin those^^^ (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2D521%2D5734PS&N=700+400304+320041+4294755964+115&autoview=sku) since they're just like the 10 holes I have all around. Only thing is, I wanna step up to a 255/60/R15 out back. If i'm not mistaken, since those (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2D521%2D5734PS&N=700+400304+320041+4294755964+115&autoview=sku) sit in about 6mm more, that'll give me clearence issues with the 255's.

So I'm thinkin these for the back...

15x8 Weld Prostar knockoffs by summit (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2D521%2D5834PS&N=700+400304+320041+4294755964+115&autoview=sku)

There an inch wider, but if i'm not mistaken, the smaller backspace will put this extra inch towards the outside, right? And since there a bit wider the 255's wont bulge off the rim as much. I know this could cause the redneck, tire stickin out look but I went on some calculation site and it said it'll set the rim about 36mm(1 and 1/4 inches) farther out versuse the 10 hole. And my 10 hole sits about 45mm(give or take) from the edge of the fender so it should clear fine. As long as I don't lower the car alot. So can anyone tell me if this all sounds correct? Btw, just for reference, the 10 holes are 7in wide with a 23mm offset.

Please someone tell me how this sounds!!! lol

Also, does eibach offer any springs that'll make my car handle a little better without lowering the car alot, if at all?

Thanks in advanced,
Tony

You need the 5.5 backspace 15x8 wheels for the back to keep the tire away from the outer edge of the wheel opening to keep it from rubbing.

[haromaster87]

Ah, makes sense now that I went and got a good look. I think at this point my best bet would be gettin the 15x7's and just puttin the 255's on that. Do 255's sit okay on 7in rims?

a 15x7 with 4.5 B.S. is the same on the outside as a 15x8 with the 5.5 B.S.

[haromaster87]

lol Yeah, I got that. The problem is with the 15x7, I have hardly any clearance between my tire and the wheel well, so with the 15x8's with the 5.5 bs, I think i'll have clearance issues, wont I?

Hmm, my car has over an inch and a half of clearance on the inside with 15x8's with 4-7/8" backspace.

[haromaster87]

Different car though, right?

[haromaster87]

lol, at this point, i'de wrather just get some 15x7's all around. Will that work? And can I mount 255's on 15x7's out back?

[StangBoy]

the 255's will fit fine, i dont see how you have do little clearance though. have any pics?

[haromaster87]

lol, Idk, I went out and snapped a few pics. It's hard to get a good pic of what i'm talkin about though. Then again, maybe i'm just over reacting. lol

What wheels do you have? What backspace?

[haromaster87]

Plane ol' 10 Hole wheels. I just checked the other side and it seems my left(driver) side wheel is about .50in-.75in more sunken in then the passenger side wheel. I got under ther car and it all looked straight, idk what could cause that. Because judging by the passenger side, I got plenty of room for a 15x8. And yes, there the same size tire on each side. Could that be a major problem?

[Ltngdrvr]

They're all a little closer on one side than the other. I don't know what the backspace is on stock wheels but you should be able to run the 15x8 5.5 backspace wheel.

[haromaster87]

Oh, okay. Good. lol I was so worried. I was crawin under, lookin at every little suspension component and everything. I feel better. But yeah, I should be okay. And the backspace on the stock 10 hole wheels is 4.38
