Hello, I'm new to the forum and relatively new to the automotive scene in general.

I'm looking at purchasing some Diamond Racing Wheels for my AutoX 240 (as seen below - craptastical!!)

I'd like for the rims to come out to be flush with the fender, I'm looking at

15x8 in the Rear and 15x7 in the Front

I read somewhere that +20 would reach out to the fenders on 17x9s, but I can't really make a relation from 9 wide to 8/7 wide. Thanks in advance!

17x9 +20 will stick out unless you run some camber.

For an 8" wide wheel, +15 is REALLY close to flush. If you want to be baller, get +0.

I have 16x8 +15 offset and my fronts will actually stick out about 1/2 inch with a 205/55 on it, thats a slight stretch so if you square them up they will prolly be way more than that, but more camber can solve that. as for the rear i have no idea since im running 30mm overs with a 25mm spacer....actually might only be a 20mm cant remember
