Thinking hard

I never seen them on any honda I figured I give them a try. The specs are 16x7.5 front with a 30 et, and 16x9 in a 15 et for $875. My prob is will this clear brake and suspension parts when the wheels turn and about how far do you think they will stick out. Some rollin and pullin will be required prolly but is it worth it for my only car with 8K in miles I dont have to have them I have a set of wheels I bought for another car that I sold, but they are missing some vital parts, they will be but back together eventually, but I will more than likely keep them as a hobby. Any body got pics of fenders being pulled before, after, and during shots

I actuallly just got a email back about the wheels, they said with rolling and pulling the fenders and the offset these come in would more than likely rub or bind while turning, which could cause tie rod and power steering damage, and thats without lowering. He said that it could be done if I was willing to make the car fit the wheels, which is basicaly going to require fabrication to the fenders to work and I dont think I want to go this route

spec will work just fine, you refer fender roll/pulling, good luck doing that to the rear of a GD, without a metal work. a camber+stretch will help. dont chicken out. jsut do it, you always wanted it. you dont know once you try.

oh.. the spec you mention was close to the one I had back in the day. was going to order the meister on that spec. or, dont go wide. play with the offset. Its fun. ask RAY

heres something to enlighten you


Left is 15x8 + 28
Right is 15x8.5 +20

I wish i have the 8.5 for my rear lol.

its not so much about not trying its more aboutbeing stuck with them if they dont work. I recently had a job at a body shop and I can pretty much use whatever I need to do it but I am noy a professional body man nor are my fab skills up to par on this, And if I was to attempt this I would do a 17 so like the title says thinking hard

just my 2 cents. but i think it will look good and work with stretch tire and plenty of camber. Clearing suspension really depends on what you are running.

As with sticking out if i calculated right (before adding extra camber) it should be:
front around 12.5mm
rear around 45mm
