What offset?

For those in the know: What offset is needed to fit 15" wheels/tires to my coupe? I've got 14"s, but I don't like the style, and the offset is wrong (they rub occasionally with 185/60s). What is the offset of the TRX wheel? I'd kill for a set, but AFAIK they were never fitted to anything here. If someone were willing, I'd buy a set and have them shipped one at a time when finances allowed.

Why dont you try some 185-55-14's? As far as 15's maybe check for an offset around 15 for a 6" wide wheel. I run that offset on my 14's and clear the fender with the above tires.

generally from what i've read, you want a 6" or narrower wheel, 0 or +/- 20 offset.

problem is that the choice of wheels that size is crap.

btw, i looked at those rims and they don't look like they'd clear the strut tube.

what i've been thinking lately is how thick does a wheel stud adaptor need to be to be strong, then make the adaptor so that you can use something common in 4 or 5 lug FWD offset so there are some choices.

i had 15x6 on before but they were a spaced out a little too far and made steering harder. Now using 14" wheels in the front and 15" in back. steering is much easier, just wish the wheels matched.
