Default 15" 35mm Offset Wheels


Ok, so in my preparation for next years autocrossing season, I am buying new tires and wheels. I just seen the list of sizes for the new Azenis, and will be running with a 225/50x15. I have heard that the wheel will need to have an offset of atleast 35mm.

As of now I have not seen any on the net, so maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!!

I don't think the crappy handling that's gona come from a 35mm wheel is gona be worth the extra tire width. Just get spacers from SPS and avoid the offset problems all together.

Adding a spacer is going to do the same exact thing as a 35mm offset wheel. I would need atleast a 10mm spacer to use those tires.

Hahah yea this was my first year and I only ran like the last 6 autocrosses of the season. I started out in STS, which is like the hardest and most competitive class around here, and was near competing for wins at the end. That was on Kumho 712's which aren't anywhere close to Azenis performance wise. So I think this year is going to be super awesome. We'll see.

I think I have decided on my wheel and tire combo. I am going to run 15" Konig Helium wheels, 10.6 lbs a piece, 40mm offset and 5mm SPS Spacer with 225/50x15 Falken Azenis tires. That should be a deadly combo. I'll let you know how the fit is.
