Ok guys I've searched and couldnt find anything. (I thought it would have been in the archive) Anyway I'm wanting to use Enkei 92s like these.
I want to run the 8 wide front and rear what offset do I need for them to be flush with zg flares? should I go wider in the rear to match the zgs.?

Thanks

4.5" backspace

Zero offset on the front is pretty much flush back needs about - 5 to sit flush.

Here is 15x8 zero offset

You must have a pretty wide tire on those wheels because a 15x8 zero offset/4.5 backspacing does not set that far outside the fender. The wheels with sit almost flush, just a touch wider, with the fender and some 205x50s fit quite nicely.

0 offset is 4"? I want to see pix of the inner tires n wheel well

i have the ZG flares on my car but im running 16x8.5s with a -6 offset. They sit pretty flush but on 205s. Running a 0 offset would allow you to run a wider tire. 0 offset with 225s should fit perfect. Im planning on running wider flares soon just so I can run something wider than a 205 without rubbing.

Yep, that looks about identical to my 13x8 Revolutions (4" BS) and my 13x8 Diamond Racing (4" BS).

A zero offset 8" wide wheel generally has 4.5" of back spacing in my experience. Put a tape measure on a 8" wheel and you will see that they are pretty close to 9" wide from outer edge to outer edge.

From the pictures it looks like a +15mm or +25mm would be a better choice. Also some camber on the front would pull the tire in better.

Thanks for posting. I will be running 15x8 wheels on my race car and I have been trying to figure out the proper off-set. I will be running a 225/45 tire.

if you're not doing at least 245's you're wasting your time.... 225/45/15's fit the stock fenders with no rolling....

Thanks I need as much rubber on the back as I can get.

I had a 15x8 +20 Rota RB on the rear and it sat JUST inside the fender. Rubbed a tad but nothing to sweat over. The front was another story. Using 15mm spacers with the same size wheel the tire poked outside the fender a bit and was able to rub the set screw on the coilover sleeve perch if it was clocked the right (wrong?) way. It's tight up front. A 7.5 inch +14 (which I have now) fits damn near perfectly. A slightly narrower tire will keep it from tearing up my fenders any more than they have been.

PS, I have ZG rear flares that I bought but won't be using, if your interested.

The tire size on that car is 205/50/15

I would have kept the wheels it they were flush

15x8, 4.75 backspace but have been better if I were to run 225-45 series instead of 205-50



same rims in my tender blue RX-3 with VW Cabriolet fender flares
