Default For those lowered & running rota slipstreams....

Is the +40 offset enough to avoid rubbing the rear fender (with proper camber adjustment). One of the reasons I'm switching wheels is that my 16's (which I don't know the offset) had to be at such an extreme neg camber to keep from rubbing. I disliked the look and disliked the tire wear even more. I'd hate to get a new set of rims and tires and go through the same thing! There's enough people out there running these, could I get some feedback please? I have a 00 Civic Si and will be using either 195/55 or 205/50.

You will be fine with a +40 offset w/ 195s and 205s. But if you are super-slamming it of course it will rub.
