Hey every one!
I'm about to buy a pair of these wheels for my AE86, they are 15x6.5 offset +18,
I have 3 Questions I'd love all your input on,
1. What do you think good or bad?
2. Will i have any clearance issues if i put these on the front?
& Finally
3. What Size/Brand tyres do you recommend i put on these?
Thanks heaps,
Michael

Mike:
1. Good, they are XR4 copies right? Speedstar if i'm correct?
2. I think it'll slightly rub the strut, the offset sounds like a S13/180, but a spacer should solve that problem. If your car is low then the outer tyre wall will scrub on hard bumps/cornering - 195's should be ok, but i've had the same problem before and only high speed cornering would make it chew the rubber
3. 195/50/15 Bridgestone GIII or the like. Toyo are coming up with pretty good designs as well.

I'm not quite sure, but there are a few floating around. My mate just bought a set too 15 X 7 from a guy off these forums as well, they look the part IMO.
Evan - try wreckers man, there are plenty floating around, i went to SSS last year and picked up genuine 2X SSR reverse mesh 15 X 7 with 95% Bridstone Grids on them for $100, the guy said they came on a wrecked s13 from Jap, so just gotta be lucky

i think you should be fine for fit, i had a set of 15 by 6.5 speedy hyperfang 2s (now sold), they had 10mm or so between the strut and tyre/wheel. id like a lower offset ideally, but they will fit no problems.
i'm going to be using 14 by 6 (10mm offset) inch rims for now, as they were very cheap.
i have heard that the best size for this size rim is 195/55R15.
