Is this going to be a good combo? Any issues?

Can I go up to the 15x8's without any issues as well? Will my stock rubber fit on the 15x8's?

I really don't have time in my life to screw this up and have to return anything or fix any screw-ups, so I'd really like to get this right the first time.

Thanks for your help! Blain

the 15x7 are the high offset ones, so you shouldnt have any problems with them. you can fit the 15x8 on stock tires i used to rock them with a 2" drop no problems

heres some old pictures of my car

Cool, I didn't realize that the 15x7's had a higher offset. Thanks for the help!

I ran these (501's 15x8 et) on S-Tecs with Monroes for the Echo (1/2" lower drop) and only rubbed on severe dips at freeway speed with 195/50/15 tires. I also rolled the rear fenders as I'm using 10mm spacer shims and I do not rub anymore. You'll have even more of a stretch with the 195/45 so I think you'll be just fine.

hmm, ok so i might be fine...do you know where i can get my fenders rolled? and how much that could cost me?

Like, can i go to an auto body shop, and they would know how to do that?

You shouldn't need to roll your fenders unless you have 10mm spacers on the rear wheels like I do. If you do want to roll them anyway, I would find out if any club members local to you have a fender roller - much cheaper that way or you can call around local body shops. I had a friend that had a roller that hooked me up. You will also need to make sure that they use a heat gun to soften the paint to avoid cracking.

aaight, so i have no problems thanks for the help!
