Wheel Offset

Is it possible to run a 0 offset 15x8 on a GSL-SE. I found some rims I like they are $150 each... not to bad i guess. They have a 3" lip I would also like them to sit flush with the fender line.

They will clear on the inside but won't clear the fender lips. Only option is to cut out the lips and add fender flares.

Okay, what wheels are those and where do you get them? I've been looking for a relatively cheap mesh wheel in 15x8+ 0 offset for a while now, and those look pretty good.

They are Axis OG San and you can get them from http://www.buywheelstoday.com/produc...(Graphite).bwt *** They dont list on the site but they do have the 15x8 in 4x114.3 you have to call the 800 number and speak to one of the sales guys. I talked to Jason

those wheels wont fit,
the 4/114.3 Rx7 runs +40 offset
wheels with high offset dont have deep dish/lip
If you fit those wheels they will sit well outside the gaurds!!!!!
UNLESS you get flares or go wide body..........then you make them fit!!!

if you had the 4/110 Rx7 and those wheels were also 4/110,
but even then a 15x8 @ zero offset would fit but on the REAR ONLY!!!!!
they would not fit the front,
4/110 Rx7 runs low offset +20, low offset wheels give deep dish/lip
which is what youre after....
but you wont have to worry coz those wheels, at that offset, will be no good for you, without flares, anyway!!!!!
