oregondime Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 i mounted some 15x8-5 :sweat: rota aleica's last week.. tires: 195/45-15. the fenders are are rolled and pulled, 280zx front struts no spacers, -.5 front camber and around -3 camber for rear (stock camber and toe). need a bit more neg camber for front and will have no rub.. the rears i need to cut the inner step out still (4-door), and then no rub. i will post pictures this week. just thought id let the nay sayers :baby: know that yet another 510 is running impossible offsets, with just the right amount of---> :poke: and a slight stretch. doesnt look hella flush or ridiculous either. that is all.. :pirate: 1 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 offset info would help Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Well Hainz, we know the offset has a 5 in it by reading. What we dont know is whether it is +5 or -5 since he writes 15x8-5 instead of 15x8 -5 or 15x8 et-5. What helps to confuse even more is the tire size listed as 195/45-15, not as 195/45/15. Since the two are written so similarly I have determined offset is still +/-. But I would not be shocked if it is -5 as I have heard of some 13x9's with negative offset before with only a roll and slight pull. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Im thinking +5. as my Rotas are +25 Im sure you could get a 8in under there but the fronts you want the right dish look also which most people put closer to Zero offset in the back(to get that deeper dish look in back) but you push the rim farther out thus needing to roll the fenders 280zx most people run close to zero to clear the threaded strut. But not to do a Jesse Hi Jakson rims look like they fit. However Im not in to rolling fenders Quote Link to comment
oregondime Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 theyre -5, i should have put a space in.. Quote Link to comment
electron_si Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Im glad you posted this...there are a lot of haters of 15x8 wheels "it can't be done"....obviously it can and it has multiple times I have work equip 15x8 -10 for the rear and 15x7 -3 front that just came in for my 2 door and people seem to think im crazy. My car is f20c powered so i needed something wider than a bicycle wheel to hold traction in the rear. Most members are not fans of aggressive fitment wheels on this forum Unfortunately my rear tires will be 205/50's so im going to have a little more work to do. 1 Quote Link to comment
510_Dillon Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 those look good! my friends girlfriend has those on her 510 wagon and they fit good! shes running a 165/50/15 tire though so from the back you can see the sides of the lips they are so stretched. Quote Link to comment
Uber Deaf One Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Im glad you posted this...there are a lot of haters of 15x8 wheels "it can't be done"....obviously it can and it has multiple times It can be done... sure. But I have yet to see someone fit 15x8 without flares while using a real tire size. Every time someone fits a wheel like that under a 510, they run stretched tires to get everything to fit properly. I'm running 205-50s on a 7" wheel... I'd like to see some 225s on these 8" wheels. Quote Link to comment

It all comes down to stance vs functionality. oregon dime i dig your wheels good to know they can be squeezed under a 4door Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I just dont really consider -3 degrees of rear camber fitting well. -1.5 maybe. I also dont consider it fitting if you have to take the step out on a 4dr or wagon as that is a serious modification. Quote Link to comment
LeX Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have the 15x8 -5 with 205 50 15 test fit on mine 280ZX FRONTS they rub on turns but dot lol. Wagon fits the 15x9 -15 on back with 225 50 15 needs zg flares or a good pull Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Shit I got -4 degrees in the rear on mine Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Post more pics damnit. I love those wheels Quote Link to comment
oregondime Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 part of the reason i got these wheels cause i believed the the bull (and had 16x7 +15 with a 5/16" spacer on the front before these..) on the510realm that you couldnt comfortably fit a 15x7 -0 lol.. i saw pics of rota shakotan and wanted even more aggressive. i had 205's before and still didnt have great traction, so i thought id rather look cool while i lose grip rather than rock wheels with a big fender gap and have no extra grip to show for it. when i have a bigger garage ill install byrons brackets, and probably be able to run -2.5 camber in the rear, and make my lip look more natural. i still have a lil gap between tire and fender.. the inner fender lip removal is done fairly often, i have a friend from portland that did it to his 2 door so he could fit some 15x7's iirc... i dont plan on using a BFH and make the lip look like a failed plastic surgery. ill post some more pics today after i get home from college Quote Link to comment
oregondime Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 and my radiator wall has been cut to fit an intercooler, my crossmember has been flipped, my tranny tunnel opened up with a car jack and sawzall covered by a apartment for rent sign, and etc.. the inner fender lip mod is just another to the list of improvements.

banzai510(hainz) Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 soem better photos of back. be honest You sure its a minus offset? hard to believe they a minus offset and you didnt have to bang that rear out that much. I had zero Panasports 15x7 and they just stuck out in the back, I sold the rims Quote Link to comment
oregondime Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 where i bought them, and the box said -5 so i would assume that they are.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260950835716#ht_1040wt_952 Quote Link to comment
oregondime Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 my rear fender lips are extreme i know.. i plan on making them look more natural this summer. Quote Link to comment
