I was wondering if someone makes a kit to get 15 inch wheels to fit and if it is cost effective?

Im sure you could get some 15's to fit, but would more than likely need to be reverse offset (good luck there), or have soo much positive offset that your car would look funny. Kinda like the ghetto'd out pimp rides where the weheels stick out WAY past the fenders.

PS: Cost effective, probably not. Why would want 15's anyway?

Theyd probably fit on the rear just fine, its the front that would really give you a hard time. Or you could just "upgrade" to some 85 GT brakes WOOHOO with their whopping 9" rotor.

The centerline website has some retro 15" to 17" wheels and can probably tell ya what will fit. I was thinking about going with 16s when I get good wheels but it seems there is not much to choose from till ya get to 17".
