I've bought 15" wheels (6,00x15 5x114,30 ET45 rims) for my plug-in/PHEV. They fit correctly... for front wheels. Unfortunately they're not ok for rear wheels. The disc brakes or calipers are ok, but the end of the lower suspension arm interfers with the inside of the rim. I did not notice it immediately because i could screw the rim without problem. But as soon as I tried to move the car, there was a noise...
I don't know if it's only related to this rim reference or if it would be true for all the 15" rims or only for this one. Is the rear suspension different between hybrid, EV and plug-in?
Hello my friend
Your Rims are (Canadian ET45) +45 offset, if you went to a +38 you'd probably be well clear. The greater the positive offset the "deeper" the rim sits inside the wheel well, so you want to go out which is to have less offset. The alternative is a spacer (not your 1st choice, I've read) which would solve the "issue".
good luck
