I bought 15x8" -25 Offset Wheels with 195/60 Tires and my wheels are too far out from the fenders...I will be getting lower profile tires for sure. What do you guys think i should do?

Overfenders?Fender Flares?Flare The stock fenders and go lower?Try to send the wheels back and get -0 Offset?

i just bought 15x8 / 15x10's for my S14 and they look amazing, your opinion doesn't change how the car looks to other people. You need to realize what you say doesn't become a fact just because you said it...
Looks amazing!

Fitting a overfenders/widebody kit only to run 195 width rubber?!

Some ppl's idea of good fitment completely escapes me.

I hope it turns out good for you. There's no need to worry about altering your fenders to accomodate this mexi-flush setup if the wheels are gonna get replaced anyways, right?

epic mexi-flush! man i'm not a fan of flush 8in wide wheels at all, seeing 8in wide wheels flush with the fender just looks sketchy.... i feel like if its less than a 9.5 then dont try to make it flush.... its like back in the late 90's early 2000 when spacing your wheels past the fender was the s*** for mexicans so you'd see hondas on stock wheels spaced passed the fender....

+2 and a hell of a pull if you really must run such a skinny wheel. but you said -25 offset? that looks about right according to that offset in that size wheel.... are you sure thats not the size you ordered? just take off the wheels dismount the tires measure the distance from the center of the wheel to the mounting surface if its not 25mm inward from the center of the wheel then its not the correct size.

Let's not forget that these are also 15 inch diameter wheels. That's even smaller than the stock diameter.

I was thinking, if the OP thinks mexi-flush is the hot stuff... maybe it's because... he's mexican? I mean... it is Victoria, TX...

why are you so angry lol? read your original post again...

you said you bought 15x8 -25 but then you said that the guy sent you the wrong size...
drifter92 wrote:these only don't fit because i was sent the wrong offset, i am getting the right ones sent to me.
so all i'm saying is that these look like a -25 offset which is what you ordered so why not measure them to make sure they didn't send you what you ordered? if you ordered -25 and now realize you want a +12 then just say that. plus then you said this:
drifter92 wrote: i already have a guy that wants them from NY and the new ones on the way
how does this even make sense if the guy you bought them from sent you the wrong ones?

so my conclusion is you bought some 15x8 -25 offset wheels intentionally thinking they would fit fine, mounted them and didn't like how they looked but since you payed for those sizes the original seller didn't want to trade you for a higher offset because thats what you payed for so instead you had to sell the ones you had to some guy in NY and buy them in the correct size. atleast thats the only way your statements make sense to me.
