I'm thinking of picking up a set of sportmax wheels. The wheel specs are 15x8 with a +15 offset. If anyone is running these can you please post pics?


Thanks, Ed

 

wich model sportmax? FYI those wheels are junk! 5 of my cheap *** friends bought those wheels and had them crack.... drive with caution if you do get them.. the kosi wheels are inexpensive and seem pretty strong

 

My friend has an SE with pretty low offset SSR mesh. 15x7 with somewhere between a +0 and +15 proabably. They fit, but 205's on the front rub. 8's will most likely be a little wide...Z flares are a great option though. YOu could probably run 205's and 225's with mild flares...

 

15x8 w 35mm offset fit. They are flush with the rear fender.

 

Robert, either the 501 or 002.



Thanks, Ed

I dont know what +15 is but the perfect backspace for me is 4.75". Im running 15x8 panasports as well as epsilons in my cars.

 

Mel, I'm not too familiar with offsets and backspacing. Maybe someone here can convert that.


Thanks, Ed

 

Couple of the guys here are running those wheels...... not exactly sure of their usernames though, but maybe they'll see your thread.

 

1" = 25.4mm.

so 35mm = 1.38"

15mm = .59"

Wacky, is that on an SE? I am running a 17x7 w/ a 40mm offset. The wheel on the back sits about 3/4" - 1" inside the fender. There is a little room to grow.

 

Non-GSL-SE (panasports)
GSL-SE (epsilons centerlock)


The max you can go is 5" backspace on a FB, RX-3 and RX-4. My other friend with a purple RX-3 (was in Sevenstock courtyard years ago) has non-centerlocke epsilons with 5" backspace.

 

thats because those are front wheel drive wheels

 

^ Finally honda cars are worth a damn

 

Here is an old video. It should give you an idea what 17x7 w/ 40mm looks like.

Off topic.

Nice SP. Turbo? More pictures?

 

yeah, a lil tiny turbo in my bro's SP

 

Damn Mel, I had to pick up my jaw from the floor. Drooling at all the rx's! Thanks for the pics.
