Thanks. Just to be honest, though, that is a Mariah Mode I widebody kit. And the wheels required spacers.

Enkei en-94 15x7 with 195/60/15 rubber. Any bigger and the car starts looking like a micro machine.

Somewhat embarrassing answer: I don't know.

Background: When I got the car, it was just a shell. I left it and the motor and the T-II gearbox with Bret DePedro at RP Performance with a laundry list of things I wanted done to the car, including suspension upgrades. Bret obtained the springs and Tokicos from another customer's wrecked race car, assured me that these were good choices (and a heckuva price) and installed everything. I never got the specs on the springs, but since they worked well, I just drove the car and smiled a lot.

4-bolt to 5-bolt adapters. I originally set up the car with 8 x 16 wheels on the front and 9 x 16 wheels on the back (with the Mariah Mode I fenders). Moving the BBS wheels out approx. 1 1/4 inches for the adapters made everything fit very nicely in the larger wheelwells.

If I ever get to take the car to the One Lap of America, I'll put the 16" wheels back on for the additional traction. For daily driver use, the 15" wheels and stock-size convertible tires are perfectly adequate and look good, too.

I had these same wheels (yes, 15x8 +10) with 205/50s, and had zero issues./ My car is lowered about 1.25 inches on B&G springs. I believe the gray car was lowered much more than mine, and had the fender lips rolled. If your car isn't slammed though, I wouldn't expect any issues.
