EM1 - 205/50/15 Tyres on 15x8 +20

[mmm]

Hi guys

bout to purchase some 205/50 tyres to go on an EM1, rims with the following specs:

15x8 +20 offset
Will be on coilovers with guards rolled

Searching the thread, it looks like 195/50 looks to be a popular size... but keen to hear if anyone here that's run 205/50 on +20 offset rims has encountered any fitment & scrubbing issues?

Depends how low you plan to go man.

gameplan is to slam - no finger gap or close to

my mate has this set up on his Em1 and he needs - 4 camber on all corner and still scrubs a bit on full lock, and scrapes alot on bumps

Why not go 205 40. Thats what I had on my 16x8 + 20

Front lip around 8cm from floor. Stock exhaust around 4cm from floor. No scrub issues with these tyres. Only problem I had was my front uca smacking againts my strut tower. But that was cause I was pretty low with camber arms.

yeah man - cos 15" & wanna be closer to stock rolling diameter; thx for posting up da pics, car looks hot man, sits nicely - did u pull them guards of yours?

Id go 195 50 personally stock camber arms will be enough if youre going around 1.5" rim to guard. My fronts are pulled out by 2cm. Rears pulled around 1cm

Thanks brah. Car is stock looking now tho. Lol

i think if you can find 205x45r15 there will be no issue..
