15x8 too much ?

[ewall09]

I was wondering If 15x8 with 5 inch backspacing and 225/45/15 tires would fit decent after rolling fenders of course.
Googled some pics and it looked pretty good but idk about 5 in backspacing. The only thing I don't know about threse wheels is the offset but I guess your soposed to be able to calculate the offset by the width and backspacing. Any help would be nice

imo, personal experience, without rolling with a good drop, 7.5w sat pretty flush. Any farther and the fender would be screwed.. And I believe that was with a regular offset wheel (+42), I believe thats the typical normal offset.. As I have limited knowledge about wheel sizing

I had 16x7.5 with +20 offset it it sat perfectly flush. There is no way +42 offset would have been flush

7" +42 would look pissed off with a good drop and -1 camber. With proper fitting tires, f*** stretching.

I dont know what offset my shitty chrome rims had. I'm just assuming as my new Fn01rc are .5 narrower and I know they're +42 offset, but they sit in .5 farther

I wouldn't go that far out, personally

Agreed

15x8 is ideal for track +35-40 offset.
