15inch Wheel
since you can't search under 3 characters, thus failign my search, will a 15"x7" wheel fit cleanly under a 1g? I am considering the Kosei K1's.

Yes, Ive heard that 7" is as wide as you can safely go under our cars in stock trim. Ive also read you can go as big as a 17x7 with the right size tires, just FYI.

It's not about the width so much as the backspacing....and if you're getting Kosei's, you have a wide variety to choose from....

15x7 is working great on mine right now. I get a tiny bit of rubbing under full lock, only when in reverse, but that's because I really need my alignment fixed.

I have 215mm tires roughly 7.5 inch wide i'd say and 16 inch rims, my car is "slammed" ...no wheel gap at all... i have no problem with rubbing whatsoever.

Make sure you get em with the correct offset, and that they are also hubcentric
