Default Rim Offset Question?

Ive done some research heres what ive found for my 90 crx si. If i want to throw some diamond racing wheels on it.. I would want to go 15x8 with +12 offset a 5mm spacer in the front with some fender rolling in the rear? Can someone validate this?

Thanks in advance

As far as I know, Manny's correct.

You're gonna have to run like -4 camber to fit those wheels, especially with the spacer up front. I personally wouldn't run less than +20 offset on 8in wheels but that's just me. You're definitely going to have to roll or shave your fenders (shaving's cheaper), and probably fit 175/50 tires to stretch enough to clear.

What is your question? If all you have to do is roll is that it?

If you're not looking to camber much you won't be able to fit them. I'm running +23 in the rear and I have to run -3 camber, but I have Work VS-XX not Diamond Racing, not that that makes a difference.

15x8 +21 wheels are probably going to fit pretty flush. You may even need to space them a bit to get to the kind of poke you're looking for. Nothing wrong with spacers, btw.

If you're dropping your car 3-4'', the natural negative camber will most likely be enough to tuck your tires cleanly, but you WILL have to roll your fenders flush, or just shave them. If I were you (and I'm doing this anyway), I would just shave them. It's faster, easier, and less likely to make your fenders look like ****.
