I have been offered a set of ATS cups for my 340 but don't really know if they would look nice or be too big being 15x7s? :?
Has anybody done this before or know if it looks okay? If so any pics??? :D
Cheers Ben.

They'll be fine... will look just right, even better if the car's lowered a little. I ran 15x7's with a 30 offset for ages

I'm still running Steves old 15x7's and they look superb. Not convinced by the 3" drop tbh, I think thats too much for a 300, but then I'm not into the whole lowering thing ;)

2" drop and 15x7s was ideal. as seen here:

rub on the last fifth of lock-ish.
Dont think Id want to go MUCH lower or wider, but certainly plausable dude.

The bigger the wheels the more you need to drop

Ive been thinking about cups or classics for mine I would love to drop it more than the 2" it already is. Coming from a jap car background if the chassis rails don't scrape on bumps in the road it isn't low enough :D but that's just not practical for my daily

Be very tight.
j340glt has 17s on in his avatar pic (i think!)
Im sure chicky is running 17s too.
But im sure thered be a lot of rub when you get near full lock. (my 15s do)

I dont think 300 look good on top of big uns, but thats just my opinion.

Hey dude.
195/50/15s.
As has been said before by many before man, its a good size for lowered 300s.
Not sure how that translates into 14in for your minilites though man.
