I'm wondering what the full side wall tire width would be of a 15x7 0 offset rim would be on a gslse rear?

I have a gsl rear in my rx2 and i'm looking to do a 5 lug axle/brake upgrade and use a set of wheels I have in the above dimensions. I'm just trying to figure out how much the wheels would be out power the fenders.

this would depend on the tire size but even if u provided that, it would be hard to say since different manufacturers would have different widths even for the same tire size.

I'm not worried about tiRe size. My question is directed at rim face to rim face. I can choose a good tire size to best suit the car after that.

On my GSL-SE, 15 X 7 wheels w/35mm offset, shod with 225/50-15 tires, my tires were right at the edge of my wheel wells, requiring me to roll the lips to avoid contact during jounce. If you use zero offset wheels, it should push a similar setup about 35mm outside the bodywork.

ahh, got it, misunderstood u. i have my car up on jackstands so here's a measurement that you can probably use to figure it out. wheel mounting surface from one side to the other is 58.5". then do ur math for rim width and offset to figure out the number you are looking for. hope this helps u.

So with a 58.5 inch rear and splitting the 7 inch wide wheels down the center for the 0 offset should give me a total width of 65.5 inches. Correct?

hmmm, a 7 inch wide wheel is actually 8 inches in width so 58.5+8 = 66.5. That's to the outer lips.
