    195 x 15 x 45 to 50 will be good.. some do 50 series at the back n 40 in front..
    but never go below 45 to thin it might e dangerous..

    I have/had the sportmax 002 on my Miata....15x8 with 0 offset. I ran a 205-50-15. Some run a 195/45/15 or 195/50/15.

    I now have a set of Axis 15x8 with -27 offset...still with a 205-50-15, but a Toyo this time.

    The cars in this thread look unfinished... Like they just ordered some wheels without thinking about the rest of the car. To pull off the super low offset look on hondas the car need to be slammed, the fenders need to be rolled/pulled, and you need to run stupid amounts of negative camber.


    Examples of proper low offset on hondas

    Damn those rides are sick as fucc!! i want that look but i cant exactly slam mine that far because im running an H2B and i really wanna have an oil pan when its over with lol! i did redo my syspension like 2 weekends ago and im about a half an inch off the top of the tires and can still go a little more "safely" but how will it hand running a bunch of negative camber?

    cars look broken. FWD have bad ofsets for a reason, running 0 offset and having to stretch the tires like crazy and tucked with globs of neg camber is retarded. buy a RWD car if you want to run RWD offsets with a decent lip. I mean yeah, the cars themselves look quite nice until you start thinking of all the stuff you'll scrape on, and and not clear, and how expensive repairs will be, and how slow and angled you'll have to approach speedbumps etc. it's dumb. What is something that takes away function for looks? umm I think the term is rice.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    wont that excessive negative camber go through tires quick? i had a slammed ek on ls meshies and went throught tires in a couple of months and scraped the hell out of my fenders. i didnt roll them and the tires were 205/50/15. i had 185/60/14 before the 15s and had no probs rubbin but camber was a biotch and went through tires quick. i have a DA and want the same look with the sportmaxxs w/ low offset

    Excessive negative camber won't kill you tires as bad as improper toe.
