Anybody running 15x8 inch wheels

as the title state's does anyone run this size or know of anyone, and if so what offset are they and what shocks are use mcpherson strut or coilovers

There was one guy running 15x8's on coilovers.

looking to see how the fit on a 7th gen

measure it out

Toyota says that 7" wide wheels would be the largest that can be used and still clear the suspension. But if you plan on stretching a tire over that wide of a wheel, and run spacers to give you a little more room, cut/flare/roll fenders, and maybe run a crazy negative camber - I don't see clearance being an issue.

Good point about the coilover example from rollatuner110 - coilover generally have a smaller diameter compared to spring/strut setups - that would free up at least several mm of clearance.

Im not sure why, but when I had my rotas on my car I had major issues. The rims were 16X7 and they had to be like 2 millimeters from the strut to be "almost" perfectly aligned. Any ideas why?? I had no problems with the front, but the rear was horrible and chewed up my tires.

^^^^ Do you remember off hand what the wheel offset was for those Rotas?

If the offset was too great - possible that you could make contact with the strut assembly. When I was running 16"x7" wheels on my Corolla, I had plenty of clearance with the strut but needed to heavily roll my fender to get the tire to "tuck" inside the fender. Those were with a 38mm offset. TRD 16" wheels I believe were a 47mm offset, and designed to fit in the fender without clearance issues in most cases, but I believe that was as close as you could get without actually making contact with the strut.

OEM recommends offsets between 35mm-45mm, wheel no wider than 7", and tire tread width no more than 215mm. But you can play around with those numbers and might be able to fit a wider wheel/tire. Tire choice can also play a significant role. Example - some 205/45R16 tires are wider than other 205/45R16 tires. You'd expect that the tire size is absolute, but each manufacturer has some "wiggle" room with the carcass design. In my case - Yokohama ES100 tires rubbed, while Kuhmo ESCTA 712 did not.

I see. Im not sure of the offset anymore. I sold the rims months ago. I was running Yokohama Parada Spec 2 205/45-R16's on there. My buddy has the rims on his CRX right now with lowering springs and has no problems at all.
