What offset with 15's???

[TyzToyz]

Hello All,
I can get a great deal on a set of 15" rims and tires. I have read on here about possible fitment issues with the rear struts or backing plates.
What would be the optimal backspace/offset I would need to fit 15" rims and 195/50R15 tires on my 1990 Corolla GT-S?
Thanks in advance,

Tye

between +25 and +35

some people have used +38s with 195s and 15x6.5s

Yeah mine are 195/50/15 with 7in wide rims, at +35 offset and it fits perfectly. a lot of wheels will be at +40 offset which I believe may be too high.

my wheels are 15x6.5 40mm offset and 195/50-15s and I used them on the back without problems... if they were 15x7 with that offset I would've had problems... I used a spacer on the back (2mm I think) either way and fit fine, the front didn't need a spacer.



I also ran 15x7 with 35mm offset without problems.



the last set I almost ran before selling my car... 16x7.5 with 10mm offset.

Was thinking of these wheels with the specs below. Whatcha think?



15"x6.5", +38 offset, 5 1/4 backspace

Gonna wrap them in these:



195/50/15

Looks like what I have on my GT-S, "MB"s ?


I painted mine. This is what they looked like when I got them. They didn't have them in "gun metal grey" then. Got mine fom Discount Tire.

he might have rear rubbing issues with the +38s though, I did with 15x7s and +35s...

[REN69]

that's what 2mm spacers are for.
