about to order wheels

getting ready to order some wheels and just want to make sure I will not have any rub issues. the wheels are 16x7 +45mm offset and I will be running the stock 185's for now. I am lowered on swift springs. Input is greatly appreciated!!!

45 mm Offset is where you want to be with no issues... and with a 185 tires you for sure will be ok. some people on here are 205 50 16 on a 16 x 7 45mm and no issues on SWIFT springs.

Would you guys recommend getting hubcentric rings? the bore is 67.1 vs the 56.1 stock honda bore. Is the wheel shaking/vibration bad without the hub rings? Also, do the stock lugs work or do I need aftermarket ones and what size? is it 12x1.5?

what lugs would you recommend? and is the size 12x1.5? or 1.25? Also, where can you purchase hub rings from?
