More tire and rim questions...
Friday, April 17, 2015 6:34 PM
I found a set of wheels I really like there 15x7 +25 offset.
What I was wanting to know is if there is gonna be clearence issues, I have a 98 Cavalier 2 door 5 speed, factory suspension currently, was going to add lowering springs later down the road, currently it has 15" Steelies with 195/65/15 (brand new) will those be ok to run on the 15x7's? I saved this car from being junked had it for over a year now and still going strong with only 135k miles on her. Thanks for any help everyone.

Part of it will depend on what size tire you plan to run. That being said, with the low offset those have you will probably need to roll and possibly pull your fenders.

What's the factory offset? Smaller the number closer in it goes or further our it goes? This stuff confuses me lol

Lower the number, the further the wheel will move away from the strut.

Think of it this way, your offset is the distance +/- the wheel mating surface is from the centerline of the wheel width.

Most fwd cars have a relatively high positive offset (45-52mm)

Willtheyfit.com is a good resource once you have stock offset/width figured out.
