Default Xa w/ Sportmax 002 15x7 +38mm offset will stock tires fit?

Will they fit on the stock tires of 185/60 15???? Edge Racing says no, but Id like to pick these rims up for $340 today if it will mount onto my tires....

Any opinions on how these will look?

yes you can mount them on ... doing so will give you that stretched look ... i have mounted a few of my buddies tires and they look great

You will be fine running stock tires on them. I have been running stocks on a 15x8 with hard driving and no problems.

I thought the stock steelies were 15x6, so 1 inch wouldn't be too much of a problem.

all i was saying was not to be cheap.

buy the CORRECT tire for the CORRECT rim size.


and btw:


the sidewalls on the STOCK tires can only take so much. there are too many variants to say your wheels would act like same as everyone elses. and i do know what i am talking about b/c i worked for Action Gator Tire for 2 years and i've seen alot of f**ked up rims b/c of STRECHED tires.

dont be cheap, buy the correct tires

Well I was saying that the stock steelies were 15x6, not 15x5.5.

Yeah the tires can only take so much, but I've yet to see anyone screw anything up because of a one inch stretch.

Unless you curb, but that happens to any wheel, not just wheels with a stretched tire.
