What offset and wheel and tyre spec is suitable to achieve the most flushness without any scrubbing or scraping or any need for guard modification? We're talking 15 inch rim here.


I would like to go a little lower than stock, don't need to be slammed on its belly.

+20 is pretty safe on our nb's while still maintaining a nice look, might have to roll the guards slightly depending on how low you go. Plent of photos around the net if you want to see how it looks, just search on club roadster, google etc.

Thanks.

I'm gunning for a set of 15x7 Rota Grid V +20 in gunmetal if I can hunt them down.
