Im looking for some guidence. Im looking to get 15x7 rota slips and i was wondering what will be the right offset. Also what size tire should i use? Im looking at getting Azienas (sp)

TIA

If you get a 15x7" wheel you need a 42-44mm offset. 45mm might hit the rear upper control arm on some Civics. I had to file mine down about 1-2mm. 38-40mm offset and the wheel may hit the fender lip with 205/50x15" Azenis.

I have a 15x7" Kosei K1 with 45mm offset and 3mm spacers and it works perfect. I had a 15x7" Kosei TS with 38mm offset and it rubbed like crazy. Both with the same tire.

 

Falken Azenis.... :angry:

I hate mine and would never buy them again!
Too much road noise,they just suck IMO.

 

It's the price you pay for the stickiest street tire. You should try riding in my car if you think just the tires are noisy.

 

I'd gladly trade you. I miss mine.

 

How was the ride in the rain? Did they still have some traction??

 

i think rota comes in a 40-42 offset on the slipstreams

 

They are fine up to about 4mm of tread. Actually had them down to 3mm of tread and was running at 70mph in a downpour.

 

they have ample traction in rain as long as your not pushng hard in a downpour. I don't know what people are doing that they say they don't have traction in rain. I guess they expect the tire to have the same traction as when it's dry.

 

205/50/15 is the perfect size for azenis on 15x7's... Especially since azenis generally run a few mm wider than most tires. Should fit perfectly Have fun, you'll definitely enjoy those tires (as long as you're not a sissy like mistacee :fawk: ...j/k)
