Default work equips

I've decided on getting equips. Now the only thing I need is your guys' help on choosing the correct size wheels/tires. What size do you guys recommend getting for an xA? I thought about 15x8 with either 195/45, 195/50, or 205/50 tires, but I'm not sure what offset to get and second if the tires will be too stretched and not safe. Thoughts guys? Thanks for the help


edit: I forgot to mention I'm planning on also getting Tein basics. So I'm wondering if that'll change anything. I want the rims to fill out the fender along with the tires. I'm not sure what size tires I should get. I want to put the coilovers on the lowest they can go, so I'm wondering how much gap would be left after the full drop and what size tires would also look good/stretched while also filling out whatever gap there is left from the drop.

thanks a bunch for the help guys.

I'm running 205/50's on my Equip's and I would hardly call it a stretch. I have a thread in here with pics. I see more people running 195/50's.

The offset everyone is running is 25 A Disc up front and 10 O Disc in back. Should be the same for the xA.

As for Basics, you will still have gap. I have some fender gap with the 205/50's. I was hoping for more of a drop, but I can live with it. You may want to look into a different coilover if you want to go lower and eliminate all fender gap.

I run 195/50's.....on the same offset as digidizzle.....I would recommend 205's as well for an xA. to make up for the gap....also see if you can get basics with the xA spring rates....if you buy them. I bought my basics off a xA owner who was not happy with the drop......I at the lowest setting in the rear and I still have a gap.

Thanks for the help guys. This kinda helped, but not much. I've read a lot of boxes, so I know what people usually run with those, but as far as xA's there aren't many, and I was wondering who had hands on experience.
