anybody with the above mentioned size of wheels? if so are any owners willing to let me test fit them? i am trying to come up with a list in this size of wheel that will fit over the spoon calipers WITHOUT SPACERS.

people in socal only...

here is the list i have so far that fits w/out spacers...

[15x7.5] SSR Competition (+43 offset)
[15x7] Buddy Club P1 QF (+42 offset)
[15x7] Real Racing R2 (+45 offset)
[15x6] stock ITR wheels (+50 offset)

ADDED

[15x7] Kosei K1 (+38 offset) {these fit, thanks to ryanr}
[15x7] 5zigen FN-01R (+42 offset) {i saw these on a car in HK that fit}
[15x7.5] Advan RG (+42 offset) {i just took pics of these wheels on my car}
[15x7] Team Dynamic Pro Racing (+45 offset) {ef8 spain}
[15x7] TE37 (+35 offset) {clear with a .030 feeler gauge (rboosted717)}
[15x7.5] Racing Hart CP-035 (+40 offset )


people in other states willing to help compile this list can do so. just join this thread.

What about the volk te-37s?

Louie

mazda millenia? not 15x7 though.

Reid

These DO NOT fit as evidence by Asspenny's trials and tribulations.

"What about the volk te-37s?"

aye you can try my rota ss.. actualy.. from lookin at it i dont think itll fit... but you can try...

Wai

Not sure about 15x7 TE37. But my 15x6.5 requires 8mm spacer to clear the Spoons.

I also have a set of Kosei 15x7 rims that requires a 2mm spacer to clear the brakes.

98R-1144

if you ever come up to norcal, you can try on my 15x7 +43mm te37s. i've often wondered if they will clear as well.

GiFF

thanks for the offer... maybe somebody up north with spoon calipers can test them out.

are there nobody in socal with 15x7 rims???

(i'm not going to steal your rim, what use do i have for just one rim???)

Black R

.....supposedly the 15x7.5 ssr type c's fit, but I dunno what offset. Anyone?

RyanR

I got a set of Stern Aguzze and Kosei K1's that you can try out. Exact specs you listed. Hit me up if you want to try them.

GiFF

what are the offsets on those rims?

RyanR

Stern = 43
K1's = 38

Todd00

They do. I have spoon calipers and those wheels and there is plenty of room.

And I'd like to know about the Stern 15x7's.

hecklervtec

Any ideas about K1s with 45 offset? If you come to NorCal I have a set of those you're welcome to test fit.

Todd00

will not work without spacers.

Black R

.....what offset are the 15x7.5" ssr's you have? Also, any rubbing issues? You run a 215 tire as well?

GiFF

cool, the k1's seem like they will fit. where are you located?

because 4x100 +35 or +38 offset fit the wilwoods...

Todd00

AFAIK, the SSR 15x7.5 only come in one offset for the ITR pattern. Mine are +4x though as they tuck neatly. I run a 205 tire on them. Could run a 225 probably if I raised the car up a little.

GiFF

i found it, it's +43 offset for the SSR type C. i updated the list at the top...

Black R

I'm interested in why run a 15x7.5 instead of 15x7 with a 205...

Wouldn't the 15x7.5 be better suited to a 215 or 225? (Assuming you're just running a 205 azenis cause they're cheap and good and that's the only 15" size they come in...)

I wanna know if R compounds might be had in a more ideal size for a 15x7.5 in 215 or 225 and wouldn't rub even on a mildly lowered R for autox/ track events...

-the r0cker, who apologizes for taking this thread *slightly* off track...

Todd00

The wider the wheel, the better. It puts more of the tire on the pavement. Besides snow, I have never found a situation where a skinny rim was better than a wider one for racing.

Plus, the 205 azenis is a wiiide 205. It needs at least a 7" wheel to work properly on an Integra. I'm putting a 205 Azenis on an 8" wide wheel next year FWIW.

Black R

.....hrm... now you've got me thinking of maybe keeping my 16x8's and running a 205 with them... I was contemplating running 15" azenis with stock rims for autox - I know it isn't ideal, but I've already got the rims and the tires are cheap... I better see what the azenis cost in the 16" size...

Now I'm getting to 15x8 vs 16x8 for autox category... that will fit over sp00n calipers.

Hrm... off to start another thread...

back from the dead....

here's a little update. te37 15x7 +43 offset do not fit without spacers. i was told with 6mm spacers wheels clear more then stock rims (from blackR). so u do the math. i think te37 +38 or is it +35 whichever is available should fit...

another one... anybody know if kosei k1 15x7 +38mm will fit?

I still got my K1's available for test fitting.
