Hey scionlife
I was debating if i should get the 15x7 or the 15x8 sportmax 002.
I am on Tanabe DF210s. I want the lip, but DO NOT want to deal with rubbing issues.
should i go for 15x8 or 15x7??
input would be appreciated

 

do the 15x8 + 15 offset.
allot of people might push you tward the 0 offset because ....well ....it is cooler, but don't do it.

the 15x8 will fit perfect, might think about doing a 10mm hub spacer in the rear the even them up

 

^^^ he means 501's. I'd do that too. I have 501's and love em... don't get 002's if rubbing is a concern.

 

ive got 501s and i love them too.
i went with 15x7 first becasue i was worried about rubbing, now after i have lived and learned ive got a set of 16x8 + 15 ET with 195/50/16.
im just waiting on the rest of my suspention to put them on, ive got tein ss-p coilovers and -3 rear camber that sould be here any day

 

I like the 002s better
so i should stick with 15x7 for no rubbing issues?

 

15x7 will work just fine.
15x8 would look alot better and you souldn't have any issues.
ive got a set of "5" 15x7 black 501s with stock tires still on them that only have 15k miles that in about to get rid of, id give you a real good deal if you wanted to go that way

 

you won't go wrong with the 501's 16x8 + 15ET
I got em threw em on and drove all day, no rubbing issues at all

 

ok........up date.
i swoped out my 15mm rear hub spacer for my friends 10mm and installed my 16x8 +15 offset with 195/50/16.
i layed down the back seat and put all the old wheels and tires in the back, about 250 lb.
i had a 1 1/2 mile drive back home and this was the test.
it rubbed horrabley. i had my friend fallow me and he said he saw smoke a few times.
i got back home and took everything out of the back and i do mean EVERYTHING.
i took it for a spin around the block and it still rubbed.
so i took the hub spacer out all together and left everything out of the back, now it only rubs when i hit a realy hard bump.

BUT............ today is the day i install my coilovers so ill raise the back up a little and then ill be able to put my spair back in the back, i carry a full size matching spair.
when ever i get my camber ill lower it back down a bit.
i got -3 camber from keoki and he always seems to take a long time shipping me stuff.

 

oh crap, im sorry i forgot to show some pics
this is with nothing in the back and noone in the car
