I know 16x7 wheels will fit on a DA integra, edo runs them on his hc car. I was wondering if anybody has tried fitting a 16x8 wheel on a da integra without it rubbing? The offset I found for 16x8 wheels was 20. Would this rub on the outside of the fenders and qp? Any help is greatly appreciated.
16x8 +20 is going to be a very hard fit outwith fender flares. Edo runs a 16x7 with a 245/45/16 Ra1. Not sure on the offset but nothing near +20. I think he's running either +35 or +42 on his 5Zigens but with neg 5 camber.

I've run 13x8" wheels with a +25mm offset and 225/50-13 tires (21.9" OD) on my EFs, and the fenders would cut into the tires with the stock camber curve. You aren't going to fare any better with 16x8s and any available tire on a DA without using camber adjusters to dial in a massive amount of static negative camber up front, and/or some moderate fender massaging.
If you are really set on running the 16x8 look at 949racing.com UL wheels, they have a x8 wheel that would work and even advise what you would need to do (tire size and rolling of fender, if needed) to accomodate the wheels.
They're inexpensive and cast and IIRC, decent weight for the size.

A little hard finding a set since they are in the middle of remaking the wheel. Supposed to release sometime in February. But if you can find some shops that still have them in stock, go for it
