Ended up getting the 15x8's 0 offset. Will roll the lip in the guards to fit them and roll the front guards a small amount to clear nicely

Just working out tyre sizes, not sure if a 195 or 205 would be best :o

I'm running 15x8's 0 offset on my 120y with 185 tyres and don't get any rub in the rear with the lip folded up. The only thing is they rub on the front inner guards when turning

Were your front guards rolled at all or the lip folded? I had issues with 195/65 rubbing on the other side of the foot well :|

Lip folded up. Only a little bit of rub on the lip. My tyres are 185/55 and they still rub on the footwell aswell

Dependent on brand - if you get dunlops they are usually narrow or measure across the whole tyre - where as most like bridge-stone, Goodyear and hankook etc measure to the edge of tread.

IE a 195 dunlop will look stretched on a 8 whereas a 195 bridgestone will look normal.
