    Should I get these wheels for my rabbit project

    I found these wheels near me but want to make sure they will fit and not have any rub issues.

    15x7 konig j-type ET: 45 i believe, the fronts sit just about flush with the fender w/o any spacers

    Will the 45 ET work?

    could do, might foul on the brakes tho?? 10 mm spacers would take it back to a relatively stock ET (i thnk.)

    ET25 on a 7" is dead flush with the front guards (at -1.5deg) and ET15 7" dead flush with the rears (both will rub the inner lip, though).

    ET45 and a 10mm spacer to ET35 will be perfect, so go ahead IMO

    Just waiting to hear back

    I am going ahead with them. They come with Yoko 420's almost brand new $550us Shipped to my door here in Minnesota (AKA the Deep Freeze at the moment).

    Have to see how they sit before I order up spacers for them. Of you guys that run spacer do you use the ones with hubcentrics or ones without?

    I would never run a non-hubcentric one

    depends on the size of the spacer. Im running a custom 8mm spacer on the rear of my vr6 and the hub still manages to centre its self on the rim nicely. as the spigot pokes out clear of the spacer.

    If you require wide spacers then id definately be looking for something hub centric

    spacing out the rear with a stub axle spacer is a nice way to do it. i've never needed spacers on the front with any of my wheels.
