Title: Wheel fitment question.
Post by: FL318is on December 28, 2006, 07:49:15 AM

I am sure there is a thread but I can't find it.  Would a rim that is 15x7 with et20 fit a 91 iS?

Perfect size IMO.  My kosei's are 15x7et17 and I think the fitment is great.

They might rub on the fenders in the front if you go with 225's and dont have any negative camber.

Found a used set of Konig Imagine locally for 375.  Black mesh with silver lip.  Not my first choice but if I could get them for 300, I already have the tires for them.  

If they did rub on the front would it be all the time or just when turning?

only if you hit a big bump while turning.

I kinda like the design.  Never heard of the manufacturer.  This guy I work with has them for sale.  They are new.  Looks like a 17x7 42et.  The look is kinda OE.  Set of 5 for $700.  Sounds high to me but I am a cheapo.  Let me know if interested.
