Best size wheel on na without rolling fenders?
 
4 Attachment(s)
So first off let me say that I CANNOT roll my quarter panel because of body work and it will crack to shit.

I've searched around and have only found unsure people saying just roll them, but my case is different and that's not a usable answer. So that being said what's the largest any of you guys have seen?

I've heard 15x8 +35 works with like 215 or something?
Then on the other hand I've heard 15x7 +40 with decent tires is better if you're low?

I am pretty low with little camber as you can see below

I can raise it accordingly if needed, but I don't like wheel gap to much.

I had a set of 13x7 -30 and that didn't go to well lmfao

Thanks for reading.

we dont tolerate clubricer retardation here

15x7 205 will fit your car without rolling/pulling
15x8 might as well with some neg camber

Haha, I try not to be rice. Do you by chance know the offset I should shoot for with the 15x7? And thanks for responding so quickly.

No roll, 15x8 +36 with 205/50. So much nicer to roll fenders and run 15x9 +36 with 225/45 though. Google that fitment for pics. Run pinch weld height of around 4-1/8" front and maybe 1/8" higher in rear. *Not fender height.*

some all-stars on CR must have missed that last part

I agree with 15x8 w/205. 225s will probably need a roll to avoid rubbing.

I have Kosei k6r in 15x8 +35 offset with hankook rs3 in 225/45r15 and they barely rub on mine with a little bit of a bump in height. The one side is still rubbing in the rear because it's lower, so I'll have to fix that, but overall the fitment is perfect. A tiny bit of roll and I can run my current height on the rubbing side.

15x8/225 will rub the plastic fender liners in front but those are easily smashed flatter.
