Do you think 15x7.5 +35’s will fit? lmao

[asianwills]

I really really want these wheels but i’m not sure they will fit. I know the diameter is decent but the width is where it could go wrong. I tried looking a bit in other forums, but I didn’t really see a max for width. Figment industries for my 1987 honda accord lx says that the front can take 7” and the back can take 7.5”. I am definitely pushing it, but I have no idea and I really want them.

These are the wheels:

Do you know what size and kind of tire you would get.

[ShiRen]

I think they should, I have a set of 16x6.5(?)+30 with 195/45r16s, Im lowered and I have ample clearance, and I have a set of 15x8+32 that I am going to mount 225/45r15s on. I haven't seen any issues with the 15x8s test fitting them, but a 225/45r15 is probably the fattest tire you can fit on these cars. 225/45r15 is the standard tire for a track set up on a crx or something. Anyway, worst comes to worst you will just need a 5mm or 10mm spacer and maybe some extra front camber which will require prelude upper control arms. I currently have the spacers, control arms, and a guard roller, so I am prepared to fit my big tires, I am sure you can fit these on your car, but I suggest you be prepared as well.

Here is some of my posts with my setup:

I looked last night and it would most likely be a 195/45R17


Thanks so much ShiRen, actually super helpful.

I hope you mean 195/45r15... That size will work, but I don't think it really exists... a 195/50r15 is more realistic and about the right diameter. You need a 23" tall tire. 195 is a bit stretched on a 7.5" wheel though, 225 is about right.
If you mean you have a 17" wheel and not a 15" then good luck...

lmao, ya sorry I meant the 15’s

Edit: Sorry, wrong numbers again. I actually did want the 50 aspect ratio too.

This is what i’m looking at:

Thats alright, I would suggest a 205/50 for less stretch

Not a suggestion on the tire, you will have to decide that, not that I see a problem with these, but they are not all seasons like what you chose.

Those look really good actually, cheaper than the other ones too. They are also performance and wider, which is also good.
What do you mean by stretch though, is there something I should watch out for to stop stretch.

[ShiRen]

stretch is how much wider the wheel is than the tire, it stretches the sidewall. 205 is a bit more like you see on normal cars. Look up stretched tires, its pretty obvious, not that a 195 is as stretched as what you will see. Its not good on the tire, but its partly done as a style thing, but also sometimes it might be necessary to stretch the sidewall a little bit like a 195 on a 7.5" wheel, for better fitment, but at that point why even get wide wheels that are probably heavier than a wheel that fits. If you aren't lowered I doubt you will need a stretched tire or extra camber.

Truuuueeee.
I agree than, that tire would be a lot better. I also was purposely looking for tires that don’t have the sidewall stretched in, which sounds like you said is a stretched tire. And this one looks like it’ll fix that a bit more, cause I want the sidewall to be pretty vertical according to the wheel.

Yes, the sidewall will be pretty much vertical, you can see it in the pictures on their site

I think the +35 would be fine with 7.5 rim.

205/50/15 is pretty much the default tire on the 15" rim. There 25 choices on tire rack in that size.
