17x7.5 wheels w/an offset of 45
I have a 96 civic ex coupe lowered on H&R sports w/the camber corrected.
I want 16's really bad, i'd rather have them over any other size wheel. BUT the fact is i'm poor and theres a guy with a really good deal locally. He's got brand new 17x7.5 rota subzeros w/slightly used rubber on them w/a 45+ offset. All i need to know is if i will have rubbing problems, i'm looking to see if anyone has ever ran anything like this before, I wish they were 17x7 or 16x7 but they arent. If i will end up rubbing a great deal then i'll just hold out and keep on searching for some 16's.

you shouldn't rub at all. I had 17 x 7 1/2 wheels w/ 43mm offset and it was fine.

screw the 17's man. Your car will be slow as ***** with them. Hold out for some nice 16's like you really want.

I'm poor though and i really like the cp035 design. If i buy 16's i'll have to buy them new and they'll be like $900. He only wants $580 for them!
It's ******* gay that every wheel that i like only comes in 15, 17.
Rota attacks, speedmaster sm046, buddy clubs.

Anyone else?</TD></TR></TABLE> lowered 2 incherz
I also suggest getting 16" because of the lower profile tire you have to have on 17" wheel. I bent my volk te 37 in 17" and just imagine what you can do w/ a regular cast wheel. Right now i roll w/ 16" slips and 17" rsz'r for show.
Just be patient and you will come across a great deal on a set of wheels.
