First off. Newbie here. Not new to Hondas at all, but just needed a little toy so I bought a taffeta white lil girl. Probably old enough to be most of your fathers actually.

Looking around, and doing some reading, I believe I have found the correct answer to what I am wondering, but wanted to ask the experts. I want to change my styled steel wheels with the sweet hubcaps out for something a little prettier.

I think I wanna do a 16 X 7 wheel with a 40 offset. It seems that the size works without rubbing from what I have read. I was planning on maybe a 205/50-16 tire as well. If I have bad info will someone please chime in. I plan to just keep the stock height, but may put on some of the basic tein springs (or similiar) down the road. Would the 1 to 1.5 inch drop cause rubbing problems with the above mentioned wheels?

Thanks for the great site in advance.

 

I'm on 15x7 with an offset of 38 and I dont run. I have 205/50/15 tires and lowered on Tanabe DF210 springs with lower the car 1.4 in the front and 1.8 in the rear.

 

Your setup mentioned will fit great with no rubbing. However will look a little silly until its lowered, but not as bad as stock looks now. So do it. If you dont plan to lower it at all step up to a 17".
