they will stick out like a sore thumb!

have a look on this website

&

http://www.tyrestretch.com/index.php

the lower the offset (eg. +/-0) the further it will sit out compared to a higher number (eg. +40)

the +40 would sit 40mm further in the guard than the +/-0 if the wheel was the same width

15x8 +0 will be managable with abit of stretch but 15x9 +0 and you will have to pump your guards, really stretch tyres and some decent camber.

Kids these days, I swear.


what best are you looking for?

best @ standing out, not standing out, performance, economy?

everyone has their own view of best and unless we know yours, we can't help.

you'll just get BS replies in which i was very tempted to give one.

True. But what do you want? You can have huge camber and wheels sitting at a crazy angle and sticking out etc, or nice and straight and flush or just sitting normally with easy to maintain wear and alignment characteristics. Let us know what you think 'best' is and then you can have some advice...

I have to say that EVERYONE should start with the search function as there are a multitude of threads that have covered the whole offset/fitment topic many times over, DAs are similar to EG/DC chassis so every thread featuring these cars is relevant to your question. Are you concerned about staying legal? If so you will be limited to a 6.5" wide rim anyway.
