Word of advice go with 20s or 25s. 305s are already a lil wide so they will poke out, but 15s are still gonna have a lil sunken look. Unless you arent going for the full flush? Also are you lowered? If so the larger spacers look better on them. Im running 20s and 25s on19s and they are perfect with 255-305 hankook V12s

I'm lowered on TEIN S-Techs. I have 25mm now with stock Rays. I put the new shoes on and it stuck way out. I pulled the 25s off and I purchased some 10mm nylon spacers at the hardware store to experiment, and it pokes a bit. I'm also running a -1.2 camber.

I noticed your on stock Rays, so 20-25 would be perfect. That's what I had. But my offset is different (+25 vs.+30 on the Rays) and my rims are 10.5 vs. 10.

I'll post a pic tomorrow....

I ran the numbers and I'm picking up a set of H&R 10mm on the way home from work.....

I measured what a 15mm would look like and it looked like too much poke.

Yeah im lowered on tein s tech and really? dam well, I guess your defintion of poke is diff then mine.

Here take a look with 25 in the back, its sitting perfect flush. So I would think a 10-15mm would be still look a lil sunken. But yeah your offests are diff as well as your diameter. Well post a pic when you are done anyways.

Here are the pics:







This is a 19x10.5 +25 with 10mm spacer and Michelin 305/30-19 lowered on TEINS. I think it sits about right. The side wall all around pokes a bit and a bit of the tread at the top. Fronts aren't on yet....
