Chillin Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 Hey mate, nice to see another 55 getting some love, I found with the 15's, don't go over a 205/65r with the tyres as it will scrub out on the spring housing. and depending on the offset the rear may scrub on the inside body under hard cornering. I'm running 20mm spacers on my 15's in the front to allow the Tyre and rim combo to fit. If you have any queries about this don't hesitate on swinging me a pm, or have a ganda at my thread. Cheers Hayden Quote
lumina78ke55 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Posted July 13, 2010 got no idea of the offset but they have 195/50/15 tires and they seem to be big enough. and ive only got a pair so they will prob stay on the back unless i can find another pair.if i do ill get the spacers then can't wait to get lowering blocks in rear and lower springs up front. oh and as for hard cornering that would require speed bahahahahaha thanks for taking a look Quote
