There are alot running 15's. Dont' cheap out and get crappy offset and re-use the stock tires. Then they look like crap. Gut some deep dish and low pro's, you'll be happier with the look.

I have a set of Work XSA-02C's in 15x8 +0 that'll be here tomorrow after a 2 month wait. They should fit nicely, and that's pretty much a good standard for 15's.

Some pics that inspired me to get away form 19's and go with 15's...

I dont know if I would call 15x8 +0 a "good standard." It is not at all good for someone who doesnt want to run camber and modify their fenders.

For a nice flush fitment, with minimal rubbing w/o camber look at something like 15x8 +25 in the front and +10 in the rear. If you would like to run camber go from there (for 3 degrees I would take like 10mm of the offsets).

nice thread, I've been wanting my gas mileage back too.
I'm running 18's and I only get about 25mpg.

I saw this a long time ago. What do you think his wheel setup is?
Is this a Japanese bb?
Man its nice. It makes me want to paint mine red. I like the body kit too.

running 15s won't guarantee that you will get your gas millage back, that depends on a few things, like what size tire you run mostly, and what width you are running, a lower profile tire will also mess with your speedo causing you to run higher RPMs therefor using more gas etc, same if you run a wide tire, more contact surface and more it takes for the car to turn the wheel, therefore using more gas.

so just keep this in mind.

That is strange that you lost so much by running your TRDs. I still get 32 mpg when running mine. While running my 15's I get 34 mpg.
Here is mine with the 15's on it. I might paint the steelies argent silver to look more like a factory rally wheel.

another consideration on gas milage... is wheels weight. overall circumferance is one thing, but a light set of 15's will make ur car accelerate faster, corner more responsively (coupled with goos tires) and brake faster. I had 17's which I use to race on, then went with Konig Ultra-lights 15" and my car is much better off.
