question about wheel fitment

[smurf13]

i own a 92 hatch with 16x7 sportmax 002's on 225's all around and i want my tires to kind of flush outside of the fender. I'm thinking spacers but i dont no what size. I also know i will have to roll my fenders out but i'm not to bright in this kind of stuff so if someone could give me some advice that would be great

flushness depends on wheel offset... try not to rely on tire size...

also, 225 on a 7's gonna look kinda funny, its too wide for a 7. I'd go 215 at the most, but 205's are ideal on a 7. Go with 205/50 or 215/45...

as far as offsets go, since youre running a 7, you better hope the offset is close to +0, give or take like 10mm

so your saying 10mm spacers would be good?thanks for the tips man

nah, I meant offset is measured in mm... so +0, +10, -10 are all workable offsets that would still look pretty decent...

...just don't get like a +30 or above in offset

195 on a 7 wide

whats your offset

to be flush youll need a 7 -10 or so

195 on a 7 wide

yah, if you like understeer... stretching on a 7 looks like ****

a 7 looks like ***

your point?

He has the 002's in 7 so i think the offset is like +35 so he's pretty much out of luck with trying to get flush without massive spacers.

To the OP sell those and get the 16x8 +0 002's.

dammit knew i should of spent the extra money and got the deep dish ones. oh well guess ima have to go with massive spacers. but first i gotta get my ka-t done

dammit knew i should of spent the extra money and got The real wheels instead of knockoffs that have weakass offsets and weigh 80 lbs. oh well guess ima have to go with massive spacers. but first i gotta get my ka-t done
