Can 15" wheels be used on VQ30 5th gens with no clearance issues, as long as the offset is correct?

Thanks

I am asking about clearance issues between the rotor/caliper and the rim. The bolt pattern is 5x114.3 which obviously is the correct bolt pattern.

They can be used on 5.0 gens but not 5.5 gens because they won't clear the front rotors.

Are you sure about that? I thought 02's and 03's had minimum 16s...

Whatever. It was/is a stupid question.

If he woulda searched, he would have found out that if the offset was correct they would fit. ATS Comp Lites are used at the drag strip all the time.

Or he could have went outside and measured.......

Stupid questions get stupid answers

Where did you "learn" this from?

The argument between you and Soonerfan in that thread was noted by the mods before the thread was closed.

someone actually has run 15's for drag wheels, i think they had to be steelies so its pretty much pointless, but if you get the right design you can find a set that fits...or you could save yourself the trouble and get 16's

I was under the belief that 15" rims would fit 00-01 GLE/GXE models, but not SE models, due to the brakes. I was also under the impression that there was no shot at them fitting an 02-03 model.

Please correct me as needed.

He may already have some 15"s that he wants to run.
