Test fitting the new wheels. 15x8

Test fitting the new wheels.
They are 15x8 et 25




I'm still deciding on the tire setup. I'm planning on putting on a set of coilovers in about few months to fill in the wheel gap.
Would 195/50r15 be a good setup?

You might rub the top on the tires on the wheel arch a bit when lowered on the back or going over large bumps,.

Looks like those wheels coming off are R90's BBS MINI Wheels. They are Nice wheels.

Good luck with the new wheels , just watch for the rub and sometimes popping the wheel arch off under load.

Yup ure absolutely right those are the r90s.. I hate the harsh ride with the low pros especially that I live in Brooklyn and there's bumps on every street. I'm waiting for the winter to be over so I can put these on.i use this car for racing and for daily driving so it's not going to be dropped to low,just enough to tuck the wheels a lil.
