15x8.5 on NA?

Postby captaincabinets » Wed Mar 16, 2016 10:29 pm

Hi all

Are these a terrible idea?

Could I fit these on an NA with a light fender roll?

What about tyre options?

Thanks

Offset is +38, so yes would be a great fit with 225/45 or 205/50. Slight roll and maybe not even. Would be a perfect fit tho. Nice wheels also. Good luck [WHITE SMILING FACE]

they should fit with slight rolled rears on 205/50s.

not overly keen on those wheels (personal opinion) and those must be a different sort of advanti storms (which incidentaly are a very popular MX5 rim)

this is what i think of when i hear advanti storm

They will fit.

How they look and whether they rub will depend on:
how low the car is
if the guards are rolled
how much camber you're running

Yeah I'd respray them, the green isn't for me.

D3ck I found them because I was looking for S1's online!

But I can't really justify $1100 vs $600 for new rims, when the green ones are (apparently) lighter..

Thanks for the advice on tyres / whether it will fit.
