You would have known that without looking, if you would read your own thread, I posted why that is, Honda designs the track widths of their front wheel drive cars like that, front wider than rear track width.

That wouldn't change the TRACK WIDTH of the vehicle. And those shops you're talking to are smart, spacers can be problematic.

on another note because you wheels stick out your car is going ot pick up some extra drag and your aerodynamics are going to suffer.

Im sure he will be fine at street speeds...

As far as the poke is concerned, doesnt look bad at all. I was expecting like FWD-drag-slicks-up-front poke. lol

It will throw up a lot of crap though. Sides will be even dirtier.

Why not return the wheel for some that have the proper offset?

This looks fine! I have 17's with a 40 offset and i love the look of the 1/2inch poke. Come the spring im going to get some 20mm spacers and even it out but its good right now. Dont worry about it bro. Poke ftw. I know misfit has some crazy poke with those purple BBS rims he was rockin. i wouldnt go that far but a little poke makes this car look nice.
