ProjectDatsun916 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hey guys I just ordered the Eibach Progressive Spring Kit from TheZStore.com and I'm now also looking for some wheels. I saw these STR wheels and was curious if the fitment would be good. I know they are a wide wheel being 15x8 with a +0 so if they do work I would probably buy some fender flares. So my question is are they going to be too big or would they be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I would say they are going to be tight. I am running 15x7 zero offset with 225/45/15 tires, stock struts and Eibach springs, and I have about a finger's width to the spring seat.

ProjectDatsun916 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Would you say a 15x5 (or 6) would fit a bit better? Because I'm on stock Six spokes right now so when I get my springs in that's what I would be sitting on till I got some new wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 You should have no issues with 15x6, even the factory turbo (snowflake, swastica) wheels with a bit of negative offset will fit just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I ran 15x8 0 offset wheels for a while, with 225 50s. I'm on lowering springs and have a mild fender roll. The occasional big bump or steep driveway would cause minor rubbing but it never bothered me. An 8" wheel is, in my opinion, a little too narrow to warrant fender flares. All depends on the look + function you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calpoly-z Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have 16x8's with 0 offset running 225/50 without any issues. Non-flared car, with rolled fender lips, running Eibach springs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan95i4 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) 16"x8.25", 0 offset, 205/50 tires under eibach springs and stock fenders here. You should be fine depending on how much rubber you put on the wheels. Edited January 29, 2015 by ryan95i4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectDatsun916 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks so much guys! This is really helpful. If you can, maybe post some pictures of your car and wheel setup so I can see the fitment to get a better visual idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zguyzzzz Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 That’s the eibach pro kit? And what shocks? Looks really low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
