Hey everyone,

Am looking to buy wheels for my RX2 project and as many know the options here in the U.S are very limited.....I want to run 15 x 7 195/50 on the front and 15 x 7 205-215/ 50 on the rear. I am going with the aerospace pro street brake kit and coilovers up front and a 8.8 rear end so can cut the housing to suit somewhat. I'm looking at bolt pattern options of 4x114.3 or 5 x114.3.

I'm struggling with the wheel offset I will need to run the 15 x 7's for both the front and rear.

I'm looking at Enkei e92 that have an offset / inset of 38
or
Enkei Compe that have an offset of either 0,25 or 38

Anyone have any answers on the offset required for these wheels to fit?
Any recommendations for other 15" wheels that are old schoolish and that will fit?
Don't want to run spacers and am not a fan of 16+ on the Deuce's
Thanks!

 

I once had enkei e92 15x7 20 offset all around 195/50 and 205/50 and they fit perfectly. Check some of my older posts there may be couple pics.

 

When using the Aerospace big brake set up on front some 15" wheels will not fit,will hit brake caliper depending on the inner wheel design.

 

In this pic here of my rx2
Rear wheels are 15x8.5.....5.5" backspace which makes them +19 offset 225/50/15 tire
Fronts are 15x7.5.....4.5" backspace which makes them +6 offset 195/50/15 tire(I have a 5mm spacer up front so tire clears coilovers)
Sits pretty good,rears I had to roll fenders and now even with four people in the car I have no rubbing issues.

 

With a ford diff, have you considered going ford bolt pattern on the front. A lot more options ??

Get rims to make the front end work and then have the diff cut to work out back.

I'm likely to go the 8.8 route on my rx3, but now I have the old 4 x100 pattern. It will cost me more to put the 4 x100 pattern on the 8.8 than to have the aerospace hub setup modified. I should have thunk it out better the first time.
