Rota Slipstreams, 15x7 35mm fit...barely.
These are a spare pair of wheels that I have for my 2 Neons.
As listed in the title, they are 15x7 with 35mm offset. Obviously, no tires. The wheel is extremely close to the caliper. It'll be really close if the wheels had balancing weights on them. There is slightly more clearance in the rear. Would definitely work well for slicks or similar tires. I will add pictures of the rear fitment on Thursday when I get done heat cycling the race tires and swap the street tires back on. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...z/IMAG0186.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...z/IMAG0187.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...z/IMAG0188.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...z/IMAG0190.jpg http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...z/IMAG0193.jpg |
15's??
This should be interesting, can't wait! |
makes me want to test fit these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROTA-WHEEL-S...6a9ae4&vxp=mtr prob need more offset though... Rota listed them with 40mm offset on their site. perfect for a 225/45/15 |
honest question: will caliper heat effect the wheel in general or the tire/bead area because its so close?
|
honestly
no |
15's... seem.. to small..
|
Way too small...
|
I've always wondered whether 15" wheels would fit. Looking at those pictures, I'd have to say the answer would be no, at least for me. I wouldn't be comfortable with that little clearance.
|
i agree, especially for daily driving.
with 225/45/15's, they'd lower the car around 3/4" and shorten the gearing by around 7%. for autocrossing it could work depending on course design. |
Whether they are too small or not depends on what you are using them for. I'm guessing he wants to use them for autocrossing for track events where they could work fine, although depending on clearance those calipers might hit when they heat up and expand on track..
|
i don't really want to use them on the BRZ.
I just had the car in the air and wondered if they would clear. for the rear, they'd work well for drag slicks. the car wasn't purchased for drag racing. already have a spare set of wheels for DD'ing, and the stock wheels for stock class SCCA events. |
Can you please post a pic of clearance to the steering joint?
Thanks. |
Did you ever get these mounted? If so, I would like to add them to the Wheel Directory. Post your photos!
|
another 15" wheel option coming soon...
