    All I have been using are the OZ's from the Lancers.


    and these were nice wheels Technomagnesios 17's and with a 45 offset IIRC with 245 40 17 rubber.

    The bumpers and skirts were photo shopped by the way. My son was bored one day. The wheels and rubber were really nice though and no rubbing at all.

            It is slightly. I'm running BG hubs so the KL axles would fit which widened the track a little bit. A couple mm. Don't have many pics of the new setup with the 15's since I haven't even mounted all 4 yet. lol

                Man I don't even have those wheels anymore lol but if I had to guess I'd say an inch. I had a really good shot of the rear to see the fitment, but I can't find it. lol

                Found another from an angle.

                        DeeAOne I was all set on acquiring a set of 16x8 +20 xxr 521, until i saw you switching from the XXR 16" to 15". Why the switch from the 16" to the 15"? Also, you indicated that with the 15x8 +20 xxr531 & 205/50/15 installed you had a little bit more tire. Wouldn't 205/45/16 instead of the 205/40/16 on the 16x8 +20 xxr 521 work?

                        I'm just curious about what are the reasons you down sized from the 16" to 15". Your reply will shed some light on whether or not i should go the 16" route or stay with my current 15" wheel size.

                              Not that you asked me but there is a limit to improving performance by increasing wheel size and in effect start to degrade performance after a certain point. If it's just for looks (which is fine) then who cares but if you want to get the most out of the car there is a point that is too big.
                              Where I live the roads are filled with potholes as well so having a bit more tire prevents a lot of wheel damage

                              In my opinion 15's look the best on bf cars anyhow.
