Sportmax 002 w/ 0 offset tire size

[ch1char0n]

I was looking to purchase these and im kinda lost on what tire size i should get. I was more concerned about the aspect ratio. I'm pretty sure i decided on 205 but not sure whether to get 55 or 50. In other words 205/55/15 or 205/50/15.

ok i know these will fit our car, but do you have to roll the fenders to fit them? i was looking at either these or the 501 with +15, will i have to roll em

[jdm_ep3]

yes you will have to roll your fenders if you get them. if your getting 15's i would say you need 45 series you can fit 50 series on 15's but it's kind of pushing it. plus your gonna have to camber the rears to fit them or else major scraping!!!

[jdm_ep3]

oh yeah by the way these rims will stick out a little more than 1" outside of the fenders if it's on 0 camber

the guy who had these had fender flares, irc

Supreme/Bimmafrik is running the 16x8's without, but he has REALLY stretched tires on them. Fender flares would be more applicable IMO.

The guy with the VBP Ep3 and fender flares was JaySpec812. I am actually waiting for a set of fender flares from him right now. He seems to have alot of complications with the company that makes them as I've been waiting since late oct./nov. of 2007 for my set.:mfrown:

There is a guy running these now w/o flares, but with plenty of camber and stretched tire. Can't think of his name, white ep, JDM bumpers.. etc

i have the 501's +15 offset and im running 205 50 16 with a fender roll in the rear. All you really need is some neg camber to make it fit. but for the 002's 0 offset you'll need stretched tire, neg camber, fender roll, and a slight pull to make them fit.

Better pics please. Angles would be awesome to see.:mangel:

i only took a couple pictures on my camera phone so quality sucks. But I'll get more pics up once I get hold of a better camera

I'm definitely going for this 002 set-up, but in 16 x 8.0. Any parts in particular I should load up on? Which would be the ideal camber kit, coilovers, etc.?

Also I got a question, you wouldn't have to stretch the tires for the 002s if you're running 225/50/16 or 225/45/16?

[zzfinaldropzz]

i think 205/45/16 would be the ideal size for 16x8 +15 or +0. It'll look more stretched and will better clear the fenders......

more pics :mcool:

To the thread starter. Did you buy the rims and tires yet? I want to see how it looks. Im planning on going the same setup. Do you guys think I would rub without rolling my fenders with an H&R drop?


JDM_Ep3, How much of a negative camber are you running in the rear?

did anyone end up getting these rims?
