I run 7x17 ET45 with Yoko S-Drive 195/40 17 (which although 195 when fitted come out wide, and near to a 205 size). I also run CUSCO Coilovers with zero rubbing.

Ever have your car fully loaded w/ 4/5 people and hit a large dip in the road doing 50/60 mph?

I have a hard time believing yours doesn't rub.

I don't recall ever hearing anything if I did hit a bump full of people but I did find my spare tire crap bounce around the first time I had a full car. Had to go in and resecure the jack and stuff. It freaked me out when I kept hearing it, I thought something was about to fall off the car, like the exhaust.

I noticed "TomiGuns" has the same setup but with 35mm offset instead of my 38mm, and he gets rubbing. So maybe somewhere between 35mm and 38mm offset on 205/45/16s is the limit of size on a stock height. The funny part is that I will be getting the Tanabe df210 springs in less than four days, so I will definitly post my repsonse when I ride on them about any issues...It will definitly be pushing the limit in terms of "Fit".

Thanks for your reply. Reason I ask was that I have 15x7 w/ 205-50 tires and get rubbing with 4 people in the car. My offset is ET40. I would think with your lower offset, you would have the same rubbing as I have, if not worse.

Hey JamesBizzle I notice you live in Carson. I live & work in Torrance, I'm running 16x7 (offset 38) w/205/45 lowered on Tanabe GF210. I have no rubbing issue with or without people in the car. Hit me up if you wanna check out my ride...

Thumbs up

Thank! I'll Take It Into Consideration. I Actully Just Moved Up To Cerritos, But I'm Down There Often. At Least Once A Week. By Any Chance Do You Go To Any Of The Car Meets In Torrance/carson? I Went To One Wednessday Night At The Torrance Crossroads With My Fit (just Got It Tuesday Night After Work:d). And Also Do You Have Any Shocks On Your Car?... Where Torrance Do You Work? A Car Shop?

No I dont go to any of the Torrance car meets, my cousin & brother in law goes to those. They both have Integra 4dr w/Type R front end.
I dont think they make aftermarket shocks yet but I'm waiting/saving up for when they do. It rides like if it was stock but with a nice lowered stance and comfort. I actually work right behind America Honda

Hey guys. I found some TE37 Cups for around $1000. The only draw back is they have +35 offset when I originally wanted +43 offset to eliminate rubbing. Will these work if I get a camber kit? If so what would be the best: 205/50, 205/45, 195/50, or 195/45 tires? Are these wheels worth it or should I just get the ones with the +43 offset? (I've seen these for about $425 a rim, $1700 for all 4) Sorry so many quesions.

I've been so busy with school and work that I havn't even had time to get tires and put them on yet. also, i'm waiting on suspension so I can do everything at once. Hopefully this week end coming up. Plus I get paid this friday so I should have enough cash. I'll post pics for sure when I finally get them on and drop my fit.
