Has anyone fit the Drag DR20 wheel and if so what size/offset are you running?

they are only available 15x7 with a 0 offset in 4x114.3
not impossible but very hard to fit especially in front

Hey Darren!
There were a couple of folks here that ran 15x7 0 offset and +10 offset:

Actually the rear is the problem.

They will fit on the front on most cars if not low.
The rears will need the fenders rolled to add about 3/4" more clearance.

Thanks for the correction, I was under the impression that 7" 0 offset would poke up front

I have access to an Eastwood roller and done plenty of modern cars and anything above 12-15mm start to get sketchy so 3/4" (20mm) is a lot, have many done it?

The front might poke out, depends on the tire size, car and alignment. It will be very close, I would suggest something like 195/45 x 15 or stretched 185/55 x15.

I have seen fenders rolled a lot in the rear.....it really is mostly the rear of the wheel opening.

Camber... -2 or so.. Bring the tire under the fender..

Kind of surprised -2 is not that aggressive ,
is this valid for pre-68 models as well?

As with every roadster, fitment/clearances wildly vary.
Here are zero offset 15x7 Koing Rewinds using 195/50/tires:


Same wheels (205 tires) on my car, also lifted otherwise it would rest on tire:


Note that the front suspension is also different (double A-arm) from today's common strut-type setups where lowering springs can induce heavy camber.

Hey Alvin do you have another example of 205?
Hoosiers like the one on your car typically run very wide and are not a good representation of a street 205
Thanks

[Alvin]

same car, with 205s, note rolled lips.


plenty of 205s in the wheel/tire thread

My car is over -3 right now.. But then I am running a 205 tire that is closer to a 225 is actual size.. Cheater tire for miata series..

-2 is aggressive, but not out of line in any way..

Thanks for all the input, still trying to figure out something interesting to put on the roadster. I've even thought of putting some Diamond Racing steels on it.
