pretty straight forward, i'm looking at getting some 15 inch wheels for an ek but want to know if anyone has done it before and if so how wide can i go before i start to rub, the car will be lowered 4 inches in the front and 2 inches in the rear, just for that raked look and for a bit of travel in the rear when towing. what offset will i need to go with? any help would be much appreciated. the wheels i'm looking at are the show wheels hauler in the xlr series.

Hi L&K, I didn't know you could put them on without changing the diff & front end? Someone here would know. Good luck.

I also haven't seen anything on adding 14", 15" or other size wheels. Would also affect your speedo I would have thought. Look forward to seeing if anyone has an answer.

i have run around a few tyre shops to see about the show wheels and you can get them custom made with whatever offset and pcd you want. then just have to go to low profile tyres to get the speedo right again, mainly wondering what offset and width can fit in the guards without scrubbing through a set of tyres every month
