    Default +15 offset

    so im thinking of going with some sportmax wheels on the hatch i know fender rolling is gonna have to be done.my question is that with a 2 1/4 drop is any other mods gonna have to be made???i also wouldnt mind some of your inputs on low offset wheels on hondas,and if yall consider them nice or just ugly.

    thanks,josh

    they're nice.

    just make sure your car is nice. try to tuck tire.

    a lot of low offset Honda folks dont but look into getting a camber kit. it'll allow all the adjustability you may need. Thats what i did to get my +0's under there with very little fender rolling.

    Don't stretch the tires. Get a 205/50/15 size tire on there and it will look better

    do NOT get 205s. they will NEVER fit under the car.
    stretching is not bad. these wheels operated perfectly fine wrapped in the 195/50/15's i had on them .

    once i make my current BBS' 15x8 i will be running a 195/50/15 tire once again.

    these sportmax's were 15x8 +0 all the way around.

    like others have said, do NOT get the 205's if you want to tuck.

    stick with +15 if you want little to no issues.
    my +0's were actually fine up front (except for making super hard U turns)
    but since my suspension wasnt to spec it would rub occasionally on bumps. but i never complained.

    once i get bigger lips my BBS' should be around that offset. that should be more than enough pleasant of an offset
