I'm running on stock 15 GTU Rims and don't want to replace new rims because I don't have that much money. Anyway, I just have 205/60/15 for the front and want to get 225/60/15 for the rear. I only lowered 1inch with tokico blue and Tein S.tech spring. I was wondering will my rear going to rub the top or anywhere on the side. As you all know our rx7 is that the front of the car is lower then the back, so I still have room for the back after I lowered. I don't want to roll my fender for the front becuase I'm running on 205/60/15 right now, I don't know if its going to rub on 215/60/15 for the front, if not i'll get that, so anyway, please let me know will it rub for the rear after I lowered the car.

thanks for reading and I know is long.
thanks again everyone, very appreciated.
I wish i know more about the car, but question would lead me there.

i run 225/50/16 front and rear on the stock rims. only rubbing issues i've had were on the front in very aggresive track driving.

if you run 225/60/15s you'll be taller but just under an inch you should probably go with 225/55/15 and that will be closest.

225 seems like a lot of tire width for a 6" wide wheel to support properly. I'm sure guys do it, but is there really any benefit? I once had 215/60-15s on my stock '90 GTU wheels and if anything I think cornering grip went downhill vs. the stock 205/50-15s.

Turbo rims are 16X7, at 15X6 in it might be pushing it.

On the Teins S-tech. 205/50/16 Was rubbing up front for me. I had to get a 5mm spacer. These for on TII rims 16X7.

So you might want to take that into account while going for your tires.

i might staggered it then, so i can put 205/60/15 in the front stock and rear 225/60/15, the back will not rub correct?

thanks

I have a size 15 though, i plan to get 205/50/15 all around.

i hope it doesn't rub since i have a small wheel.
