Konish Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Looking to get these (15X7 XXR 513s with a +15 offset) with the gold centers as my car is British Racing Green with a butterscotch interior. Anyway I have new tires on 15" Swastika (6") wheels and want to transfer them over. The tires are 205-60 R 15's If I buy the 513s and fit the old tires, do you think they will be overly stretched on the rim? My thought is probably not too badly, but any pics that anyone may have with this setup or something similar would be greatly appreciated. I like the way the 15's fit in the wells and I think the 7" width over the stock 6" Swastikas will give me the wider, beefier look I'm after. I also have to be cautious about the wheels protruding beyond the fender as it's against the law in japan and can get you pulled over. Trust me, Japanese cops have no sense of humor. I toyed with the idea of going to 16" wheels, but I'm not ready to deal with any potential rubbing issues until I get back to the US and have my garage!

h4nsm0l3m4n Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 You should be ok. I run 205-50-15s on 15x7 Panasports and the tire isnt stretched at all (picture for reference, sorry not the best quality). I'd be careful though, my wheels are 0 offset (I think) and the tires are fairly close to rubbing on the lower spring perch on the front. With a +15 offset it might necessitate a wheel spacer...
