Im looking at getting a set of rims for my car. (Eg3)
And i've found a set that are cheap, needs new paint.
But the rim is 15 x 6.5 with an offset of +23.
Will these fit without extending out of the guards on a standard eg, ie no sussy mod at all, stock.
Cheers Nic.

But will they be legal?
And will they still sit relatively normal in the guards?

If your car is not lowered, yes it will fit. otherwise its going to rub, the wheels will definitely stick out of the guard with offset +23

try to get an offset between +35 and +45 for perfect fitment

YO Nic.
May i ask what wheels they are?? =]
They will definately fit, legally.
But you should find some one that will roll your guards for you (Y)

The rims are just a no name brand mesh sorta style.
Second hand and would need some new paint.
I suppose once i get my car, ill go and give them a test fit and see for myself.
Not really keen on rolling my guard just yet...
Just really looking for a set of rims while i save for some rota track r's :D

Ok so you have a 6.5' +23.
If it was a 7" it would sit the same as a +29.
I am using +29 on my integra and it clears the guards fine (they are rolled, cost $50) and my mate is using +27 on his eg (only rolled guards aswell).

You have absolutely no idea at all.
Please post if you have experience.

Offset is nothing without width.
I could run a 0 offset presuming the wheel was 5 inches wide and it would be fine (close to guard but should clear)

Why don't you want to roll the guards?
Im yet to see the paint get wrecked and ive seen plenty of rolled guards.
Doesnt cost much and once it's done, it's done forever so may aswell do it.
