PLEASE HELP! 15x8 wheels

[Nimble]

Well no one gives a crap where the TIRE is because it will be too far inside the wheel on any wheel that's one inch larger than the wheel said tire was meant for. Who cares if the tire fits the wheel that's wider, if said wheel is too close to the shock/strut now? You cannot just look at one without the other.

OK Nible lets do a little Math here based on your logic, as stated above and based on my set up, that everyone knows so well.

15x7 +38
225/50R15 tire

now you are saying who gives a crap about the tire... if I would not have "gave a crap" I would have gone with +42 or +45 with that 7 in wide wheel when doing my math

skip to an 8 in wheel also doing the math I would have came up with the same offsets

lets say I put said tire on from above with the higher offset, and get all pissed off because I am rubbing my tire like crazy on my strut, yeah I am going to be pissed

a 225/50VR15 has a tread width of 8.9 inches therefor why my math was for the width of the tire not the wheel, I know I have explaned this a few times... Are you just trying to get in an Agrument with us Nimble?
