Default Circle Racing 15x7 aluminum- what Backspace?

http://www.circleracing.com/Me...de=rr
EG8 with teg brakes front and rear

205 tires.

Want them to be flush with fender, but a bit of pop out is fine.

I just need backspace in in inches to order them up.

I did search and came across 5", but that was for 13x9 and wasnt sure if it would be the same for 15X7.


Thanks.

You want a 40-45mm offset. You don't want the wheel/tire sticking out. 1) it looks stupid, 2) you will run into rubbing issues, 3) you will be considered a low rider

After a bit of looking I came up with 42. How would that look? Would it be flush with fender?

The difference between 40-45mm is only 4cm=1.25". Barely even noticeable. And as I said you don't want it "FLUSH" with the fender because if you drop it it will rub. But it will tuck a little bit compared to a 35mm offset.
