Hi guys, Im going to buy rims this weekend for my 95 bubble back (for next summer ) they are sportmaxx 002's and the fitment is 15x8, 0 offset. I want to know if anyone is running any rims with that fitment, if so please post pics. I know that these rims can be pulled off with a bit of work just want to know exactly what im getting in to before I buy them.
please help so I dont get f'd lol
Thanks

0 offset?
Most likely the rims and tires will stick out of the wheel well, not flush with the body. The tire will rub the fender.

Flare out the fenders as much as needed to stop the rubbing. Negative camber will help but with that offset, major flaring of the fenders may be necessary... also depends on how low your car will be.

i highly doubt that any practical person would run 0 offset on a civic hatch. anything lower than +30 on my civic is too far out...

My buddy ran this setup on his 4dr EG.. no modifications other then cambering the wheels to fit.

Shouldn't take too much work. It's been done for the last couple seasons (just next season its gonna be even more popular due to late trend followers) so there should be lots of information on H-T and other forums.

Umm Yeah, "cambering" the way to make wheels fit.

Only to have your wheels on such a retarded slope reducing your contact patch so much you might as well run 4 spare tires.


Whats the point here? You can get 15x8 wheels in several different offsets to get as close to the fender as possible. But then again the widest street performance 15" tires that would fit our cars are only 225's and you can fit those on a 7 or 7.5" wheel.

Go and buy some fender flares and do it properly...or back to the drawing board.

btw here is a great tool to figure out what works well.
Wheel Offset Calculator

A lot of stock honda wheels are 15 x 6 +45 as a starting point. The Mugen RNR's I ran before that fit great where 15 x 6.5 +45 and tucked nicely under the well when lowered with no rubbing. I was running a 205/55 R15 and had excellent road manners, and it looked GREAT.

DO NOT buy those stupid wheels, they are not suppose to go on out cars.

Goodluck...

I know i made this thread a while ago, i have a new setup in mind that will be flush and fit perfectly.
