I have done a search and i can not fin the max off set and tire size for a 15 wheel i have a set of old school momo ideas. I autocrossed with them last season and i notices that with 205/55/15 and with 205/50/15 i couldnt tell. I am going to buy azenis 205/50/15 and im not sure if they will rub the rims are 15"x7.5 with a 37 offset. I need to know if i need to grab some dif rims.

That combination should work fine.

I'm pretty sure they will rub on the outside. I put Azenis RT-615s on 15"x7" Fittipaldi w/ a 37 offset* and I got a nice groove on the outside of them from street driving on bumps and hard cornering. They did look nice though. No such problems w/ the Enkeis. The below w/ *s are from my own personal experience/collection.

15" Rims that fit the MSP

2) 15" Probe GT wheels
3) 15" Rota Slipstreams
4) 15"x7" Enkei RF-1 w/ a 45 offset*
5) 15"x7" Fittipaldi w/ a 37 offset* (Dremeled to fit hubs, not recommended on the rears)
6) 15"x6" steelies from a Mazda3*
