Anyone else running with 15x7 +10 offset in a slightly lowered (1.2-2") stance? If so, what tire size are you using?

I bought a set of Drag DR-27s and the rep recommended 205/50/15s, but my instinct told me to go with 195/50/15s to avoid any fender work. Did I make the right decision? Just don't want the tires to rub, ya'know!

I plan on going with the same size rims, but with a 195/50/15 tire, I was wondering the same thing, does anyone know the anwser? I too have a 2" drop.

I actually got the same tire size as the one you're getting. Haven't been able to install them yet, but am planning to either tomorrow or Sat. Will post pics after its done.

So I installed the wheels this weekend with the 195/50s...and the good news is they fit better than the other tire size, BUT now my issue is the rears rub when I hit bumps! WTF!!!

Now, I figure that I have a few options:
1. Get a camber kit
2. Reduce the tire size (Yet again if doable)
3. Return the set and get another one (with a more favorable offset)
4. Roll fenders

Decisions...decisions...

UPDATE....

Yesterday, I called the vendor that I bought the wheels and tires from and they DO NOT recommend reducing the tire size to avoid loading issues with the car, so that removes one of my few options from the table.

Additionally, I contacted the shop that installed my suspension and they reminded me that I was entitled to an alignment (now that my suspension has settled). So, I'm hopeful that tomorrow, the alignment will help my situation some (negative camber in the rear).

Keeping my fingers crossed......

In case you were wondering what the set looks like mounted on the car...

Just like your other thread you have here I'm going to suggest the same thing. Reduce your offset. Your doing everything you can to keep this ridiculous offset that your creating a lot of work for yourself.

Getting a camber kit will not help because you have to totally ruin your alignment to achieve no rub. Which means you will be replacing tires once a month.

Smaller tire size will not relieve the offset issue because the tires center on the rim which means unless you go a lot smaller your only pulling them inward slightly.

Rolling the fenders might help... but it could cause other major issues (rust) if not done properly.

You're right I am creating a lot of work, but it's because I am trying to achieve the deep dish look. Tomorrow is the final straw in my opinion.

If you really, really want to keep that offset you will have to roll the fenders and hope it does the trick.

Rolling the fenders isn't gonna work. If the alignment doesn't help the set goes back for one with better offset.

Well, I finally waived the white flag on this one. I just couldn't bear to roll the fenders, so I returned the set. Trying to find a somewhat deep dish wheel with a better offset. Any recommendations?

Got a set of Konig Rewinds with a +40 offset wrapped in 205/50s. Pretty excited!
