Trying to find the where i posted the offset of my volk te37s, this way i'm not giving you false information on the offset i have. Although now i'm running 235/60/15 MT Drag radial instead of MT 24.5x8x15 slick.

15x7 wheel +40mm offset 24.5x8x15 slick works just fine on a 2G AWD (test fitted mine with koni/sportline suspension no rubbing)

What are the benefits of running a 15s over 16s?

Less weight. Bigger sidewall.

Just throwing this out there if anyone is looking at slicks right now. Toyo is having a buy one get one free on their slicks to get them moving. That brings the price to around 80 each.

The 24.5" tire will also net better times and 60's than the 26" tire up until the 150mph mark. So, if you are in the 1-teens to 140-150mph I would stick with the 24.5" tire. The 16" rim with the 26" tire is usually used if you are intending on exceeding the 150mph mark, and if you have a larger diameter brake setup in front or rear. The 16" rims are required to clear a 12"+ brake setup. A 17" rim is required to clear a 13" brake setup.

Well the goal is 10s in my Auto, so the 15s will probably be much more suited for what I am doing.
