will this wheel/tire combo rub?

[markr325is]

I plan on getting a set of Kosei 15x8's with et15mm offset with a set of 225/50-15 Bridgestone Potenza so3s. This will be my street/autox tire while i use 15x7 kosei's w/ toyo RA1's for track.

Think the first combo will rub? i already have a half worn set of 225 so3's i can run in STX this year. Any need to roll my fenders, especially the rears? When i ran the 225's on my 15x7's(ET 27 mm offset) last year, they did not rub before. I think my new wheels will stick out slightly more towards the fenders.

thanks for the input,

15mm offset? I think it will rub, I'm running 15x7's(25mm)225/50/15's and eibach springs and I rub slightly in the rear under hard acceleration.

I also think it would rub without some work. You would not be the first to run that application though.

I'm at least going to roll my rear fenders. I'm not worried so much about acceleration, but the clearance when my car is leaning in turns. I have 375 lb springs in front and 525 lbs in the rear.

Hey Jim,

do you think this will rub on the front? I'm running almost max negative camber on my e30 w/ the GC race plates and they did not rub the fenders.

BTW, i'm planning on getting this setup from you guys at Tire rack. I emailed a couple national bmw autox drivers, and they were the ones that told me about the wheel size + offset.

thanks,

Mark
