Hi Mark,

The wheels you are looking for a 7x15 with the 52.3 offset. Its stamped on the inner spoke.

Appreciate that Mark. Another question . . . What would be the widest tire I could fit on that rim?

This would actually be a great question to post...you should toss it up as a seperate thread! :) From what I can find most tires give the range of rim they will fit in the spec discription and that is usually a 2in variance. It seems that a 225 is right at the upper limit of what will work well on a 7in wheel. But that is just what I have found poking around the net, so I could be off.

Mark(s),

225/50/15's would be the largest tire that would work well on 7x15 rims. Double check the manufacturer's specs since not all tires are truly equal. I was able to post really good times in GS using 7x16 rims with 225/50/16 RA1 tires.

Good luck!

Thanks again for the information gentlemen. By the way, I think we just had the first posting by the "Three M-egos".
