hey guys,

i have stanza struts in my coupe

just looking at buying some 15's and wondering what sort of offset would be required

most sets seem to be 15x6.5 or 15x6

just wondering if anyone who has gone stanza struts has an idea of the offset required for the front (and the sort of offset with standard diff width for the back)

i would be willing to pump the guards by an inch or so to get them to fit, and have already bent the front and bashed the foot well for clearance

the set i am looking at right now are fronts 15X6.5 with +25 and rears 15x7 with +25

I have 17's going on mine 38mm off set 205 tyres .I am getting 10mm spacer made the tyre just touches the strut. I could get away with about 5mm on the back but I bought a setof 25mm spacers they are ilegal but it sit nice the front still sits inside the guards the back I had to tap the lips.Thats on a sedan.

you might need flares on the front with 6.5 up front but the offset is good for the stanza front end. might actually hit the strut on the inside depending what size tyre you plan on using.

might need 175 50 15 or similar like ange found for the simmons.

with the Stanza front you need to use the same off set as a TRX rim. stanza struts and R31 disks will put the off set out and you will have major scrubbing issues.

anyone know the trx offset? that would be a good starting point, i think they are 15x6?

i found a calculator to tell you the diffrent position of rims.... but you need a starting point

TRX rims = 15 X 5.5. To help avoid the confusion that "Offset" figures can give, I always like to reference rims by their backspace measurement. 120mm is about the limit on std B110 struts. 115mm is better.

ive used 13 x 6 o offset and 13 x 6 +5 offset, +35 offset and inbetween.

Depends if you want to flare the fronts but they will fill the rear guards

On my Stanza struts I am using:

14 x 6.0 superlites
Which have a offset of 26 mm and a rear space of 115mm

This gives about 8 mm clearance to the strut from memory. Im running 185/60 r14 tyres and dont think you could go much bigger in the overall diameter. The 185 tyres fit inside the guard. But only just. However 195 tyres would be very close, to fitting without flaring.
