205x50x15 on 15x7-0ffset or 15x8+12offset wich will fit
hey guys, as usual i need some wheel and tire advice.

i am getting the hang of sizes and offsets and what and what will not work

ive fit +25 off set and a +38 off set both on 15x7's with a 205x50x15 rt615 tire.

can i fit a either of the sizes in the title : 15x7 with a 0 off set or a 15x7 with a +12 off set, both rims will be running a 205x50x15 star spec.

im running agx's and hypercoils. if i have to roll the finders im fine with that.

if i cant i cant, and ill go with another rim style in a commonly fitted offset etc.

thanks in advance guys.

hey strat have you ever looked at willtheyfit.com ? it will give you good visuals on fitment questions. i personally think the 15x8+12 205/50 will probably rub if your fenders are not rolled but should look really good. i have 16x8.5+14 in my rears and have some poke that made me run some stretched 195/45

Strat I know you wanted me to look out for this thread, but I don't know what advice to give you. What do you count as "fitting"? Are you willing to stance it out? Do you want good street-car fitment?

What will I need to make em fit ? How poked/stretched will the tires be.

If its not what I want to do/look like ill go with a diff rim.

We need to find the pic of that NX or B14 with the 0 offset or +15 offset 15x8 XXR wheels. It was full-on skateboard time.

Your title doesn't match your description. Are you looking between 15x7 and 15x8 wheels, or are they both 15x7 options but with 0 or +12 offsets?

Im sticking with the said tire size, just up in tue air as to wich sized rim will work better on my car/suspension set up.

The short answer I guess is that none of those options will fit. No way. They will rub like a motherfucker. Not without extreme fender rolling and extreme camber and raising the ride height quite a bit.

Assuming the NX has the same rear clearance that the Sentra has I would show you what 205/45/15 on 15x7 with +14mm offset would look like on my car (using spacers) but I'm extremely scared that if I lowered the car down the fender would contact the tire at rest and bend the crap out of my bodywork. +26mm offset was pushing it in the rear for mine as it is with the same wheel size and even shorter tires...

The nx has more fender room in the rear. But your most likely right, the rim/tire will stick out a 1inch and a half out past the fender.
