    Hey guys been a while, reason is I was on my way to pick up a corolla S trunk lid so I'd have the factory spoiler and on the way back my motor went out. Don't really know why but anyway I should be having it replaced soon just a little update.

    My buddy has a set on his ef civic with 205/50's and they scrub so I figured if I run them with 195/50s I should be ok but I wasn't sure if 8 inch wheels would fit on our cars without causing problems.

    You'll need a fender roll for those to fit. I have almost that same width and offset on my rims and they won't fit without some massaging.

    Lol that's one reason I'm afraid of lowering the rear end bc rite now it has 16x7s with 205s on em and still rubs every now and then at stock height. So I was thinkin of just throwing some teins on the front to close up that major wheel gap and leaving the rear stock or just go back to my 15 inch rotas. I at least wanna run a 50 series profile tire anything lower than that would suck here with all the pot holes and horrible bridges. I'm afraid runnin 40s or 45s would just ruin my wheels.

    I had a similar prob staying out on the plots with a lot of gravel/dirt roads and constant wash away.
    Only when I moved I lowered the car, still on the same wheels though, but soon putting on the Racing Harts.

    Yeah I just really think those gold wheels would set the car off so ill prolly look into getting the rear fenders rolled and run 195/50s on and lower it. I know it's extra work but I think it'd be worth it in the end.

    Just tryin to think of best possible way to go since it doesn't seem likely I'll be able to lower the rear with these wheels. The clearance on the rear is already close with stock suspension and 16s. So tire/suspension combinations for 15x8s would be appreciated. I'll look more into having the fenders rolled. If nothin else I'll keep the 16s on it and I also still have the black 15inch rota slips.
