    My vote Hankook RS-R, love the grip but they are a bit soft. I still daily drive on them though

    with 225/45 or 215/45 you are going to get a relatively huge sidewall. if you do not want to ride high, just get a 195/50 or 45. if you are not actually concerned with your height, then go for either of the previous sizes.

    so can we see some images. I got 15x8 +0 as well and I hate the 195-45 that came with the wheels. I wonder how they fit on just rolled fenders if possible.

    What's the best size for 15x8 ET0 without pulling, rolling, or stretching too hard?

    I have now 195-45 and requires a flat roll. I did it with a rubber-tip hammer and it works perfect.

    I'm going with a 15x8 +25 with a 205/50 tire. I have rolled fenders and mild pull. Hopefully that will be enough

    Yeah that'll be fine.

    I just don't understand Frenmanremy's question...

    Q: How do i fit my 15x8 zero offset wheels under my car without doing any real modifications?
    A: Don't buy stupid offset wheels.



    Unless he's asking about stretching or something, in which case i have no constructive input, and i never will.
