16x7 + 38

T1R springs drop quite alot so you'll have some rubbing but you said you wanted to rub

I would say 16x7 +40

You will rub in the front (if you run 205/50's) but it'll look really nice and the back will be "kinda flush" as you say.

I've got 16x7 +45's and my front is pretty flush...looks nice.
The back, I wish was +40 but these wheels are only in that offset.

Check this site...http://www.rotawheel.com/AVAILABILITY.htm to see what Rota actually has in stock.

Or call my guy Alex at OneSixMotorsports.com because they keep some Rotas in stock that Rota may not show on their site as being "in stock"

No other company that I've talked with stocks Rotas--they just drop ship from Rota but OneSix has some in their shop and can ship. They have good prices and I got my rims in 3 days.

afew of my past favorite cars. wish i still had them or atleast one of them.
The stance i want to go for with the Fit kind comes from all my previous cars. Not SLAMMED or super hella flush, but just "low". Hopefully the T1R's and my new wheels will achieve that look.

LOL it will never end
lol cool story. i didn't post it to make anyone get mad, was just bored. but in my own personal level i would choose authentic for the quality. Ive seen too many cracked rotas, konigs and so on but that's from a autoX and road race point of view. if you finna daily them the yeah who cares. Ive had rotas on a daily before cause i didn't want to shed 1500 on top of the 500 for someone possibly taking the car on the streets just for the wheels.

im more of the do you. you dont want to spend too much on wheels or can't justify the price all good. no hate from me. as long as you dont claim them real haha.

yea the ride height varied in the pics. everytime i changed wheels the suspension seemd to change too. lol

ebay coilovers>skunk2 lowering springs>sk2 in the rear/ebay coils upfront>sk2 springs all around with tokico blues.



i have a place in my heart for 88-91 Honda Civic Sedans. My very first car was a 91 EX. sad none of my builds ever came close to complete. i got my first car when i was 16 and im 18 now. and ive ownd

91 Civic EX sedan
88 CRX DX
88 Civic RT4WD wagon
94 Civic DX sedan (D16Z6 swapped)
95 Integra GSR (B18B swapped =( )
91 Civic DX hatch
92 Civic CX hatch
91 CRX DX
91 Civic DX wagon
91 Civic DX sedan
90 Accord EX coupe
97 Civic EX sedan
92 Integra RS coupe
95 Civic LX sedan
95 Integra GSR coupe (B18c1 =D )
93 Civic CX hatch
95 Accord EX sedan (my 1st auto!)
88 Civic LX sedan
00 Civic EX coupe
92 Civic Si hatch
94 Integra GSR sedan (B18B swapped. The Bad Luck car)
91 Integra LS

and finally my 09 Fit Sport. lol. so basically i changed cars once or twic a month. In afew cases i had 2-3 at a time and some cars were kept longer than a month but never longer than 3. Does my screen name as insane_one make a little bit of sense now?

i remember there being a DIY for painting the headlight housing here in the general GE section but i can't seem to find it. i tried using the search bar but everytime i tried a search it would say there weren't any matches. has anyone seen where it's gone?
