what ever posesed you to put black wheels on an RBM, just awful looking. 
Might be time for another change.
I'm sticking with the 15's, I love the look. But I want to go staggered and wider in the rear. So, I'm staying with a 15x8 up front, but going to a 15x10 in the rear. We'll see how it works out. I'm going to order one 15x10 to make sure it works, because with a -44 offset you never know.

I'm running a -13 offset currently. I figure the -44 will be a giant difference.

If that -44 offset is correct, those are gonna stick out like 3 to 4 inches. If its a +44, should be about 2 in more than from if the -14 is correct, I think your gonna need some universal wide body fender flares.

A couple friends of mine were talking about overfenders for the rear after I drop it.
-44...?!?! Wow, those are crazy offsets!! I want to see pics of this when it's done, so make sure you post up!
what are the current wheel + tire specs? do u have spacers? Is there any rubbing? I was looking into this today and I wanted to get the silver ones that you have now (not chrome)..but i dont want to copy your style.
And I dont know anything about the offset...

2 reasons for the negative offset:what are the current wheel + tire specs? do u have spacers? Is there any rubbing? I was looking into this today and I wanted to get the silver ones that you have now (not chrome)..but i dont want to copy your style.

1. pushes the wheel/tire out further, for that wide track look
2. allows the smaller 15" rims to not hit the brake caliper housing.
so, now you know something about the offset. <grin>
alright cool..so the 15" wheel will fit with no issues. Thanks for filling me in about that, and you are right. Now I do know something about offset.
But I have another question. What about the tire size? I was thinking 225/60/15. Would that work? or would 235/60/15? I dont want to go any smaller on the sidewall. I am at 225/45/17 now and it throws off my speedometer by like 5-6 mph...

I'm running a 225/70/15. The 15" wheel will fit with the right offset.alright cool..so the 15" wheel will fit with no issues. Thanks for filling me in about that, and you are right. Now I do know something about offset.

I wanted to do 225/60/15 with 15x8 -19 offset. Does the tire stretch for you at all?
Yeah there's a good amount of stretch, helps out the look.I wanted to do 225/60/15 with 15x8 -19 offset. Does the tire stretch for you at all?
I just ordered BFGoodrich Radial T/A's from discount tire in 225/70/15. They will be here next week and then i will get the wheels and put them on! thanks for your info.
just to make sure though, your tires do NOT rub the fenders right?

I don't have them yet. I need to pick up suspension and over fenders first.
I got my wheels mounted and balanced last night. The fronts needed 8mm spacers and the rub a little when doing tight turns..but i got everything bolted on.. I havent had a chance to take some nice shots, but i will soon. I also need to think about getting some wide fender flares..
I'm surprised you needed spacers. Fender flares would be sick. Post pictures, I would love to see how they came out.I got my wheels mounted and balanced last night.

ill try to get some pics today, even though its rainy..i dont have the flares yet, im just going to be thinking of getting them, bc the wheels are about 2 inches out from the body..ill post the pics up later today
