Default Wheel diameter Vs Offset Vs Lowered 5th Gen

Just wanna know what size of wheel, and which offset are you riding and how much your 5th gen is lowered without rolling your fender??? Is +42 offset too much for a BB6?? It would be great if you can show me some pics of your wheel/offset/lowering spring combos.

Once again ... many thanks

that offset is okay, just as long as you aren't running too large of a tire diameter or a rim that is too wide. If you keep it at or below a 18 x 7.5, you should be fine as long as you run a lower profile tire.

i run koni/eibach pro setup with '02-'04 rsx wheels + 45 offset (16" X 6 1/2"). i've read the 5th gens have a +55 offset (base wheels) I personally do not like running these wheels because of the offset. BTW 205/50/16.

Would this rim size fit on the car?
17x7 with offset 40+ ....5x 114.3?

Cheers!

This is exactly what I want to know. I think it will fit if the rubber patch is not too wide, and it depends also how much your car is lowered. Otherwise I think you gonna have to roll your fenders. I'm still waiting for infos and pics on that matter.
Anybody else can help us??
