What 15" race rims fit!?

I tried some weldracing prostars on my fg2 today 15x7 the caliper really hits the inside of the rim. I wish they fit -_-' anyway who is running a Full slick (not drag radial) I wanted to run a mickey thompson slick 24.5" on the pro stars. What rims are you guys running with the slicks? im so sick of trying to find the right combo Id thought I would ask

they fit the rsx so they should fit the si and i think there 1 of the only rim that fits. i think weld was talking about coming out with a rim that is for tuner cars or like muscle cars that have big brakes on them if they havent even came out.

This is the general rule for caliper clearance. Take the wheel diameter in inches and subtract four inches. In your case using 15s the biggest rotor you can fit is 11 inches, the stock Si front rotor is 11.8 inches so 15s will simply not fit.

Yeah the 4 inches rule is just a guide, sometimes you can get away with less clearance but it depends on the wheels and calipers. Those one-piece Willwood calipers look like they are skinnier than the stock 2 piece Si calipers, and they also look like they are positioned differently on the rotor than the Si calipers. It also looks like you have the biggest possible rotor/caliper package that will fit behind those wheels and those are 11.75s not 11.8s.
