Default Need some advice

I was thinking about getting some konig rewinds pretty soon and I'm leaning towards the 15x7 in 20mm offset and 205/50/15 tires and I was just wondering if I would have to worry about rocks chipping the paint up the side of my car from it being flush mounted or am I being paranoid? Also, initially I'm not going to be lowering it but when I do probably going to do the springs that lower 1.5 inches will I have to worry about rubbing? Because I'd prefer not to have to roll my fenders or anything.

Thanks

im running a 15x8 on a +15 offset and am dropped about 5+ inches on Tein Coilovers and have no problem with rubbing or rocks being flung onto my paint. i think you will be good and BTW nice choice of wheels, i think itll look good, what color rewinds are you gonna get?

Unfortunately the 20 offset is only sold in silver I like the graphite ones a lot though so I may have my bro powdercoat them for me. Do yours stick far out of the fenders?

not at all...they mainly fit flush, they stick out a little but its not bad. and you know the rear rims dont stick out as much as the fronts, this gets a lot more noticable when you start running a low offset rim. you might want to get some 10mm hub spacers to bring the rear rims flush with the front ones.

here are some decent pics i have, none are straight on so you cant really tell how much they stick out, but you can get an idea. (keep in mind mine are a 15x8 with a +15 offset)

Wow that looks pretty sweet. Do you happen to know of a good place to get spacers?

yeah, i just ordered mine and they should be coming in pretty soon.

Randode.com

that is a link straight to the spacers on his site. his spacers are the cheapest (price wise) i have found, and i've heard they are just as good as the spacers that cost close to $200.
