Default 15 offset or 0 offset??? Sitting on DF210's

hey suspension guru's i have a question. Im going back to 15" wheels and cant decide whether or not I should go for a 15 offset or 0 offset on the sportmax wheels. I will have the car on Tanabe DF210's by the time I get the wheels and just dont want to rub, trying to keep my daily driver issue free. Looking at 15x8 unless the 15x7's are better for the lowered suspension. So offset recommendation is what?...

let me know guys on what you think! thanks for the info.

0 offset is gonna poke out. You'll probably need to roll the fenders.

I'd go with the 15.

i have the 0 offset wheels and they will poke out alittle bit and you will need to roll your fenders to run them without rubbing.

well i forgot to mention...i had sportmax 002's in a 0 offset before. I loved the poked/stretched look but since then im going to lower it so I was curious if I would still rub with a 15 offset

15 should be fine on everything but the biggest bumps. Without the OTG spacer, you should be golden in the rear... I say, leave it in!

i'd say you're going to have to roll your fenders for sure, but everyone should do this as it will allow you to run lower offset wheels with no rubbing.
