Well I picked these up about a week ago, they are 15x8 with a 15mm offset. I mounted a old 205/50-15 to check for fittment. I will probably go with drag radials in the back and a good stopping tire up front.

 

wow!!!! But those are gonna touch If you hit a pothole, wont they?

 

Fender roller does wonders, if they were not rolled yes... there would be carnage. I also have stiff springs front and rear.

 

Yea. so whats the best size wheel, offset for a 1.5 inch lowered first gen?

 

wow. that looks great. are u planning ot put those up front? just with fender rolling u can stuff 15x8's? wat tires do u plan to run with them?

 

I depends on the look your going for, and also if it is a se or non se suspension. Most of the time I just measure real good and go from there.

Here is a good tool to find the perfect size for you. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Yea the wheels are all the way around. I am going to stick with 205/50-15's but with sticky rubber. I was originally hoping to be able to run a 225/45-15 but I was pretty sure it would rub.

 

How about a wider shot of them on the car? They look pretty cool!

 

Those wheels are gorgeous.

 

225/50/15's on 7" rims rub on the front fenders, when lowered. In the 4X110 pcd anyway.

 

Where did you manage to find those wheels could i put them on a stock 83 base model? with out any mods if i use a shorter tire?

 

are those sportmax's ? im diggin them

 

They are a 114.3/100 x 4, so they will not fit the non/se models. Yes they are the new sportmax 501's. I had the tire shop order tires today so I should be able to get some pics up Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

What do they weigh?

 

nice wheels man, look great. i just got these ones on, oh and i'm digging the color of your 7 .

 

I belive the weight is 14.7 ish. Here are the rest of the pics.

 

really nice looking wheels!

 

Looks really GOOD.....
So let me get all the details right...
You are running 15x8 with 15mm offset front and rear and they don't rub on the front spring perch?
What tire size did you finally go with?
Thanks, I have been waiting for some nice deep dish wheels to fit on my SE....

Yes, that is correct. I have coil overs up front but they are no where near hitting the perch so it should be fine with the stock perch. I used 205/50-15 all the way around with bfg drag radials in the rear. You will have to roll your fenders with this setup.

Good luck,
Kevin

 

Thanks for the info....
