    35 mm???

    i have read so many times that we have to run 40mm or higher offsets on our cars... now i have come to the point that i am tired of 17's heavyness and harsh ride... i want 15's

    so i go to my favorite wheel store online and find my dream wheels... 15X7, 4X100 and 35mm offset...

    so what would happen if i try to run a 35mm offset with 205/50/15s and a 2.5 inch drop? will it work?

    man those wheels look good !

    i think if you got with lower than 40 mm offset you'll rub against the fender !

    It'll rub the fenders. I have 35mm and lowered 2" and the rear is rubbing when I go onto a slant road or hit bumps. I'm not sure even if you push the lip up it'll tuck under.

    aww fuck... well.. im thinkin of grafting front fender lips onto the back because they are much bigger.. it will give a fender flared look

    maybe they will tuck then..

    No can do, sorry.

    Keep on looking I'm pretty sure I've seen that same style several times across the net. Keep on looking, don't screw yourself over with 35mm. It would work with 195/50-15, but those look puny on the car, well their undersized so that's why they look funky IMO. Anyways, keep on looking man, your out to fix a problem, don't create another one.
