datsunlover Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I had some 15X7.5 rims on a Z a few years ago.. and IIRC I was running 225/60/15 tires with no rubbing probs.. but I could be wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Jay - Just to be safe - what is your definition of a -5 offset? Does it move the tire closer to the car or further out? Most Z cars run a 0 to +12mm offset with their wheels. A -5mm is going to push the tire into your outer wheel well lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaYaYsSoHN Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 negative 5 offset moves the tires out of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 With the -5 ofset you might get away with some 215's if you are running 15" wheels. If you go up to 16" you'll be limited to 205's. Problem will be the tire rubbing the inside edge lip of the fender well. No problem with the suspension, you'll clear it by a mile. See if you can get a tire shop to fit one up for you and decide from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
