  • Which size 15"

    So these are going to go on as my daily rims as the BBS are needing some attention and once they are sparkling I don't think I want to drive them all the time.

    15x6"

    Question is what is the best size rubber for them? I can space them out if I need to but initially I want then straight bolted on.

    this is a 165/50



    if you want to space it out, and still have it nice and low, running 165/50's would give you no issues with rubbing etc. (re you running coilovers?)

    Otherwise I'd just get a 195/50. It wont look as good, but seeing as it's a daily, and they're daily wheels, You may as well get some traction on the ground. Only potential problem could be inner clearance if the offset is rather high and you're running coilovers. (tyre rubbing on the perch/springs) Also depends on height.

    Of course there are also 185/45's, and 175/50's if you want to go some where in between.

    hope that helps

      Coilover front and spring/shock rear.

      I have 195 on 7" rims, and think they already look overly rubbered, so I'd say I either have to find the elusive 175's or settle on 185's for practicality.

      Got to get them polished up still, so have time to work out where to buy them from.
