Wheels and TiresNeed help with wheels or tires? Got fitment issues? Have questions about tire performance and handling? Ask all of those questions here!
Hey guys I'm brand new here but I drive a 91 RS and I'm planning on getting new wheels and tires soon. I'm trying to figure out if a set of wheels I found will fit without having to mess with my fenders. Thanks! Here's a pic of the sizes.
Those rears will stick out a mile. A 15x10 is tricky to fit without modifying something. A 15x8 with 4.5" of backspacing, or zero offset will fit nicely. A 10 with 5.5" of backspacing bolts on, but will stick out a little and may rub the wheel arc over bumps and hard acceleration depending on suspension setup. a 10 with 6" of backspacing requires some inner wheel well work, but will sit nicely under the wheel arc. 6.5" of backspacing is ideal, but requires a lot of cutting.

Would 17x8 fit all around nicely? Or is the 15x8 a better option? And then what tire size would you suggest on either of those? Sorry i'm a bit dumb in the whole wheel and tire area
Skip everything and go for a 17" x 9.5" wheel (or an 18" x 9.5") and stick a 275 on all 4 corners...

Save your $$$ and just runs the stockers.. mine still work fine to this day.. Zero outlay besides the occasional tire change, just saying.. better to make it handle with Koni's for $$ spent..
