OK, I want to pickup some rims for my car, but I don't want to swap out the tires. I'm looking for the cheapest solution. I found some nice cragar's that run 15", which is what my rim is, for about $40 apiece, which isn't bad. They're chrome and I like the looks of them. I don't know anything about selecting a rim to match my tires though.

I'm running 215/65/15's, so obviously my rim is a 15". Now the 215 means I have 215mm wide tires, which is 8.464 inches, so I have 15X8 rims, right? The bolt pattern obviously is 5X4.5", but what do I need to know about offset and backspacing, and is there anything else I need to know to place an order?

Just call whoever your ordering the rim from and theyll help you out with your tech questions. Just tell them your rim size and tire size and your car and they can help you out

 

215 is the factory tire size, which is more than 8 inches wide, but at the base it isnt. The rim that you're running (if stock) is a 15x7 in rim, so you can stick w/ 15x7's for us selection...like stated earlier, i'd call to check out, and they should be able to hook you up w/ backspacing info etc when u tell them ur application.
