15x8 end all questions
So I know this is a much debated topic and I have searched and Ive seen people running some low offset on their yarii, ive also seen a lot of people flame it. I am trying to get on more of an agreement. Im trying to pick up a set of xxr 002 wheels in 15x8 +0. I want to know will they fit. Some say there will be rubbing issues and others say its fine. Im fine with a tiny bit of rubbing at full turn because I rarely do that on the street and I plan on setting my camber to negative once I finish my suspension. Im going to be putting tein s-techs on with tokico blues so the drop will be around 2 in.
Im going for the flush look and I just want to know is 15x8 +0 doable or will it not fit? |

I'm on 15x7 xxr 513 : tein s tech : 185 55 15 tires and the rubbing wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I imagine that when I get Canbered there will be no rubbing.
If I had to guess, I'd say you could pull it off with some camber and rolled fenders still with SOME rubbing. Might be annoying, but it sure would look pretty. |

I think it would also depend on the tire size you run.

If you have the $$$ and time to expirement go for it man! It would look really nice.
The one thing that I want to point out is that even though you have the s techs, a really short sidewall on 15s might leave you with a not-so-hot wheel gap. I have a little more space than I would like ideally on mine bit can't afford coilover so I'm just going to have to suck it up till I can afford some.... Just a little food for thought ;) anyways, I'm excited to see whatever you end up doing. |

no matter how perfect your offset is, you will not sit flush on stechs purely because they dont go low enough
i just installed a set on my sedan hoping to cut my wheel gap to nothing but i still have a little over a one finger gap. flush is pretty much no wheel gap so im prob gonna end up switching out my suspension again to coilovers to go lower. the stechs are way lower than the trds i just had but still not low enough for my taste |

You will sit flush, but rubbing will be inevitable if you want the flush look.
As for tires - if you run 195/45/15 which is the lowest profile you can get, it will poke a little. You can stretch 175/50/15 or 165/50/15, but I wouldn't recommend 165, since its width is less than stock. |

I feel like the s-techs would be perfect cuz it will look almost flush but I wont be too low to worry about hard rubbing.

im running a 16x7 +38 front and +28 rear (because of pg 10mm spacers)
these pics are with stechs- the wheel gap is actually more noticeable in person. if you run coilovers you can sit more flush and just increase spring rate- your suspension will travel less and chance of rubbing will be lower (due to stiffer suspension) |

15X8 +20 with a 225 50 15 barely fits inside the front fender.
15X8 +7 in rear pokes a LOT, with 225 50 15.

If I'm not mistaken, brazdon is on stock rubber, meaning 185/60/15 and s techs.
The taller tire is why his wheel gap is minimal. |

thought maybe this one could help too.
again, S techs and 185/55/15 sorry for the dirty car. |

I want there to be a tiny bit of space I feel like that would alleviate most of the rubbing I would get during street driving. and Im not planning on going with a 225 tire im gonna stretch on something thinner and I am gonna put something low profile so that should also help. I think between the skinny/thin tires and the small gap left with the s-techs I should eliminate almost any rubbing.
