View Full Version : Would 15"s Work?

Yup, I'm nuts! I want to put 15x7 magnesium rims on my tC which already has 16" Enkei RPF-1s and P-Zeros dropped on Tein Basics. I know it's already as light, and is as comfortable as a late model 3-Series. But, I want to know if it's possible to fit 15x7s? Would it make it through the OE brakes and, would the speedo be still as good as stock? Has anyone here ever done this?

I want to do it so I would need less inertial force to move the tC in stop and go traffic to save gas and get better launches if I mess with 6sec 0-60 cars.

tcpete has a set of 15's for his car u can ask him. but small rims like that I feel look weird on our cars, maybe they look ok on older civics and teggy's

That's odd... I asked if it's possible to make a high RPM 2AZ and they told me to ask tcpete, I asked this and you told me to ask tcpete.

If I ask where I could get something like the Integra Type R wrinkle paint on the valve cover to look JDM, who should I ask?

I better PM this guy...

Anyone got pics of 15"s on a slammed tC?

The speedo would not be stock correct, unless you used an equivalent diamenter tire to the stock 215/45-17; mine's off with its taller 205/55-16's.

I can't imagine going smaller, I have traction issues as it is.

I just found out about TCpete tonight...

Is there a way to recalibrate the speedo like on domestic trucks and SUVs with our tCs?

TE's will only look good if they're concave. no wheels will be concave for the 5x100
