15x7.5 Wheel Question

[Sweetums]

So I'm looking at wheels for autocross. I'm thinking of jumping over to STF. What kind of offset/backspacing do I need to consider for a 7.5 wheel on stock suspension that I plan to lower at a later time? I figuring I'll lower 1.5", or 2" at most.

Thanks!

+30-+40 offset

6ul's are a good choice
I run konig lightspeeds
I believe andy runs ssr comps

You might also want to consider the k4r's. Those are nice and light as well. I can't remember if they are 7" or 7.5" though. Unless you're going to be competing at a national level, 7" would do just fine. Dont forget about rpf1's either....only 9.5 lbs IIRC for 15x7.

Correct. And those are ET43.

Narrow car slaloms faster.

And at least put some lowering springs on it. They are cheap and make a huge difference. And put some camber bolts in the stock front struts. Just those things will make a much faster and safer autocrosser.
