Talking Wheel Question!

I'm not sure if this was covered anywhere else. But I'm only dropped 1.5" on TRD springs, and im lookin to get some 15x8 w/ 195/50's. Just wondering, would an offset of +0 or +15 rub? And if i were lookin to space em out, what would be the most without rubbage?

Thanks =)

Check here for pics of +15 and +0 offsets in 15's you will poke in front and rear a little with the 0's and should be fine with the +15's only dropped 1 inch

Re: Wheel Question!

Ok, sorry to bring this back to life and the double post. But just wondering, with only a 1.5" drop how would it look with 195/50 tires on stretched on 15x8's? Would it still look alright, or kinda..ehhh? Lol
