As close to 49mm offset as possible. 185/55R15 or 195/45R15

I had a set of 15x6.5 with et49 offset, and they were a perfect fitment and didnt rub with standard unrolled nova arches. I also ran 195/45's to be safe.

Tyre Manufacture and rear suspension setup plays a big part too, so its impossible to say.

My 888's in 195/50/15 rub the rear coilover springs without 3mm spacers. Dunlop Direzza 02g's = No chance, and T1r's were fine with no spacers or grinding.

craig, I take it the 888's would fit with a 50 profile if it did not have coilovers on the rear and the shock/spring setup as per the standard/spax RSX?

Should be ok, But they are quite bulky sidewalls, especially when Hot.

Mine are ok now, but the arches are ground back to the spot welds as im running small spacers. If its a road car you should be ok with standard arches & a spring/shock setup, but to be honest id stick with T1R - 45's just to be sure.

On a right hand track my 888 n/s/r also touches the front of the inner arch, but only very slightly when red hot, And again, thats a 50.
