I might be interested in getting these for my car (stock bodywork ae-86) does anyone know how close they come to fitting? heres the specs:
front
7 inch wide and +13 offset
rear
7.5 inch wide +7 offset
195/50/15 tyres all round. I am prepared to roll gaurds. So what do you think guys?

thanks, this is on a low car though. If I have to I will fit machined spacers and flare my gaurds, I dont want any rubbing at any time

I have 15x7 +12 offset with 205x50 tyres on the front, no rubbing.

Stretching a little, but it should be cool, might look a little different then what you might be use to.

195s on a 7.5 isn't a huge stretch, and should easily fit under the gaurds.
Scrubbing shouldnt be a problem if you roll them and have some stiff suspension.
You shouldnt need spacers for that offset on the front either.
Unless you like the filled gaurd look, as they will probably sit a little inwards.

yeah your right suspension plays a major part. Right now I am running about 70mm lower than standard but I planning on raising it a bit. I have 5.7kg coil-over fronts and am going to go to 5s. SO I think I am pretty right there. When I got these springs I purposefully went for a short 180mm spring so that the bottom lock nut would be just above the level of the tyre, this does 2 things: alows for easy adjustment and also allows for a relativly large offset rim because the srut is the limitation not the spring. I dont mind if it sits a little in if it doesn't rub.
