Hello all. Ive been browsing this forum for the last few days and trying to find some answers to some fitment questions I have but havent found a for sure answer. Im looking to buy some wheels and the choices I have are 15x7 +38 and +25 and 15x8 +25. I plan on lowering the car in the future possibly on H&R's. What is the most aggressive wheel I can go with from these three options on a lowered 2 without having rubbing issues and not rolling the fenders?

if you are only lowering on springs you won't need to roll the fenders assuming you put a 40 or 45 series tire. I am running 16x8 +30 and have no clearance issues
15x8 +25 will look goofy if you aren't lowering the car down to the point where you rid the wheel gap

So it seems 15x7 +25 would be the ideal option. I would be keeping the stock size tires. Just trying to avoid rubbing the outer fender liner and inside of the fender liner under hard cornering when its finally time to lower it.
this guy was running the 15x8 6UL's ET 36, it looks like im going to have problems with the front unless cambered pretty aggressively
the rears look like they'll squeek by with a fender roll to be safe
Those look like some meaty tires. Only 195s?
haha thats my car.
15x8 +36 with 205/50/15 Bridgestone RE11
I believe it would fit without too much rubbing with a good drop, just not a super slammed hellaflush type.
It's the stock height, and it does look like a lifted truck... I was planning on getting coilovers, but decided to sell the rims/tires instead.
I'd recommend the 6UL's with 195/50/15 if you're worried about any kind of rubbing. Just keep in mind that RE11's aren't really 205mm in width, they're more like 215mm.
PM me if you want more pictures.
