i'm thinking about getting 15x9 -7 offset wheels. would these fit with fender rolling (i got DF210's)?
if not what could i do to make it work?
if they do fit how much would they stick out in the front/back?

thanks ahead of time.

aaron.

They will stick out like crazy. Look at the posts with the new SportMax 15x8's, zero offset... yours will stick out more as they have over 20mm overall width.
Here's a pic of 2tone's with the 15x8s... he' also running OTG spacers in back, which you may have to do also to clear the rear arm.

your springs are probably
a 2" inch drop, so most likely you'll rub.

i have coils with a 2" drop.
rub like crazy with passengers.

and with that offset,
i'd say flares are a MUST.

yes, it will work.....


back on topic....yes aaron, you will rub. -3 or -5 camber will not let those fit under stock fenders. let me do more fender work on my car and i'll let you know what you can do.....

In my opinion, get flares first and get your suspension all setup before you go with super wide tires. I got low offset Work Equips with Tein Super Street Coilovers and I went through a pair of tires for the rears in less than a month. After a pair of tires and a couple hundred dollars on a camber kit I still rub minimally with my fenders trimmed and slightly rolled.

Also! get functional fender flares so you can actually cut up the rear fender and fit those monster wheels under there.

Hope my experience helps you out

It may not rub if you have a stretched tire on it. It depends. Is there an actual pic of the rim with that offset, maybe on another car? I dont mind if it sticks out an inch, as long as the fender almost covers the tread(not the sidewall).
