    Will it fit?? (15x8 +25)

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/AVID-1-AV-12...adb879&vxp=mtr

    I want to know if anybody thinks i can fit a 15x8 +25 under the mirage? I was thinking of doing some fender flares if I have too!

    I suggest coilovers and drop them down as close as possible to eliminate rubbing, the softer the suspension the more it will bounce and rub. I would not try this with springs or stock suspension unless you run a very small profile tire, which will make the fender gap look huge.

    Edit: you may be able to get away with a fender roll but I still think it will poke, shouldn't be too hard for a bodyshop who is good with fiberglass to mock up some flares with fiberglass. But are you willing to cut out the inside metal of your fender to make it practical?

    In that case go for a WRC wide bodykit and some 12" spacers, but that will put a lot of stress by having everything at the wrong angle

    Well 15x8 will be added mass to rotate, but sticky tires will help plant it to the road and equal the difference. Perhaps you should look into replacing your engine mounts with something more solid to reduce wheel hop even further to make use of wider tires. Don't go overboard though it will make your car ruble like a nascar and shake the teeth out of your head. It is common to replace the rear one in most tuner communities.

    x7 is the widest you can fit before it pokes. You also run into issues with x7 if you don't get the correct offset.
