38 ofset on ek
15 x 7 with 38 ofset, will it work on a ek civic?
Car is lowered about 1.5 inch in the rear and about 1 inch in front.
Have civic type R sway bars front and back
Wanted to run 205 50 15 R compound tack tires at the track.
Car does not have much lean with the sway bars plus Integra R springs and shocks.
I know about 42 offset would be better, I think but can get good price on 38 offset
I did role, crush the front inner lip so do have a bit more room.
I thing with 195 it would not be a problem at all but that extra 195 to 205 not sure.
I don`t have adjustable camber, thats the biggest problem. They want to much money for those upper control arms. Have a little - camber for lowering, but not enough for the track.

Yeah, cornering harder is always good.
I have been running 14 inch crappie rims steallies with Atenza rt-615`s
and aluminium 14inch with 205 R compounds.
Have to get some better rims in 15 inch, there is a lot more tire options out there.
Was just trying to find the best offset cause I would really rather run 215 wide tires.
I actually have 2 15inch by 7 with ET37 that I have 225/50/15 RA1`s on. they stick out and did rub on cornering untill I added the front Civic Type R sway bar.
I rather run a smaller front sway bar through for better turn in .
