Looking for insight on wheels
Hey guys, I’m considering buying new wheels for my 2015, ran across these on Amazon and I like them. Wondering if anyone has any insight on wheel size, offsets etc.? I am wondering if these will fit without issue. I am considering lowering the car, in the spring. Let me know what you think!

I’m also considering other options, saw someone recently with bronze colored wheels on their modern steel metallic and it looked good. Any product links or insight on sizing would be appreciated. Also, I am planning on running stock 16 inch tires

Thanks for the insight (isn't that a Honda model? anyway, I definitely don't want any fender modifications, I'd like to be able to re-sell the car in the future.. I'll keep hunting .

yah, unless you plan to lower your ride, ET40's going to have a bit of a poke on the front. my GK runs ET42 16x7 for winter and honestly i think it looks pretty crappy but its the old winter set from my '12 GE i sold a while back, so been using it to use up the tires.

Do you guys think if I don’t lower the car and use the 40 offset wheels I’ll be ok? Is anyone running 40s like these? I was really hoping to keep the factory 16 inch tires because they are brand new.

By ok do you mean not rub? Yes you should be ok if you don't lower the car and run 40 offset wheels. The front will just poke out a bit.

Hey, I just want to thank everyone for their input on this topic, I decided to leave the wheels alone for now, looks like a 45 offset is what is needed. This way I am not limited in lowering options later if I decide to do it. Thanks again! ( I did order a set of jdm red center caps for the wheels, that would be nice for now )

I run Advanti Storm S1 17x7 +35 offset wheels with 205/45R17 (Also rally armor universal flaps). I'm on stock suspension and have rubbed exactly once on my drivers side front wheel; while driving at 65 mph, turning, and hitting a big dip on the interstate. Even when it rubbed it only hit the liner and not the metal. I like the flush look on the front and the rear top edge is about 5-10 mm in from flush with the fender. You can use tire rack's wheel website to find wheels that will fit your car and see how they look.
