Will these rims and tires fit?
Ok so I've got a pair of 16" Sportmax 002's with a 0 offset that I'm throwing on the rear of my B14 and a different setup going on up front that I know will be fine. The tires on the sportmax are shot but I have 2, 215-60-16 tires that I can throw on the sportmax and I'm just wondering if I will have any rubbing issues with the wheels and tires sticking out due to the 0 offset and slightly taller tires. I am running Tein S-Techs all the way around and I have my snow tires on right now which are 195/55/15 and they still have about a 2 finger gap in the back. LMK what you think

Thanks

No and NO.

You are pushing the tire out almost 2" from stock add that to a taller tire and its double No.

Well I already know the wheel will fit "it's already been done", I'm just not sure if the tire would fit. Any input on what size tire yall think I could use?

The CORRECT answer:

A 60 series tire is a bit much. A 50 series tire would be MUCH better, and will clear on a 16x8 Sportmax 002 with 0ET. I personally wouldn't do it, though.

215/45 16 would give you a nice stretch look with that size rim but to answer ur question you will rub!

Ok thanks, I also have a set of 16" Kobe Cup-5 rims which have a +40 offset. Would the 215/60R16's fit on the B14 with no issues?

Then why are you asking?

Are my calculations incorrect or is my B14 different from the rest?

Stock wheel is 15x6 +40offset
New wheel is 16x8 0offset
This will push the wheel out 65mm more than the stock wheel. How is that going to fit without rubbing? Add a 215/60 on top of that your tire is now 26.1" in diameter and 8.8" wide. From the stock of 23.5" in diameter and a width of 7.9".

It would have to rub and or crunch the fender.

A much better choice.
