    so i might be getting rims with taxes, among other things.......so


    can i run a 15x7.5 +32 on my gt? without hitting anything?


    now the reason for my question is i run a 17x7 +42 right now and want 15's will the width make trouble at 15's?

    my old summers are 15x6 +14, well +39 with a 25mm spacer so it works out to be +14 offset. i rub my 195/55/15 tire on my unrolled quarter, but i don't rub the other side, which has been rolled.

    your 15x7.5 is 19mm wider on both sides than my set up, but +32 is 18mm farther away from the fender. so you're 1mm farther away than me to the quarter panels. should be okay with 195 wide tires as you'll be stretching the tires a bit.

    as for the inside, you're 19mm closer to the strut housing going from stock (14x6), but your offset is 7mm farther away than stock, so you're 12mm closer to the strut housing. this might rub...but it's awfully close since the stock GTS tires are 205 wide and is almost rubbing. again, might get away with it if you keep the tires narrow.

    205/50/15 is a hard size to come by and 205/55/15 may be too big. 195/55/15 might be an okay tire to go with, but to keep the speedometer accurate, maybe 195/60/15 could be stuffed in there. it's a long battle with tire sizes, but you're welcome to post the results :D

    so running a 15x7 is a better and safer way to go your saying
