15x7

Postby Jagd100 » Wed Nov 20, 2013 10:40 am

Is anyone running 15x7's and what offset would be good to run for these??
Also what's the max size tyre to run safely, was looking at 31's mainly to fit but would 32's be option as well?
Cheers

2.8 Mu had 15x7 standard and I have a set of these with 31x10.5 as my wof tyres No issue I know people that have 32s on them with few problems but it is outside the tyre recommendation and a 15x8 would be more correct

factory 2.8 mu runs 15x7 0 offset with 31x10.5x15 tyres, 32 fit but may need to trim the front bumper valance, i run 15x8 -24 rims on a mu and they are fine

Sounds like 15x8 is the way to go, will have to revise the strategy
