PLEASE HELP! 15x8 wheels

[eTiMaGo]

Nimble, I'm sorry, but please re-read my post, look especially at the first picture, and visualize the relationship between the offset and the outside of the tires as the rim's width changes.

I wish I was any good at Flash or 3D graphics to make a demonstration, but I'm not

Why have offsets at all then? So a 15x5 ET 38 would sit in the same place as said 15x8 ET 38? That's what your reasoning suggests.

that is why I put the word TIRE in all caps when I made my previous statments.... We are not all dumb here Nimble we do know that a 8 inch wheel is 1 inch (aprox 26mm) wider than a 7 inch wider wheel. I am talking about position of the tread of the tire will be unchanged, if you take the exact same tire and put it on the two wheels listed above in your post
