I recently purchased a set of Blitz type 01's and the offset is +40 from all that I can tell and I am wondering if this offset will be ok on my accord. The wheels are 17x8 as well.

 

Forgot to get email replies.

 

Are you lowered at all? That will make a huge difference. I am in the same boat looking for new rims. I am lowered on H&R sports and I have been told that anything less than a +45 offset with rub when I have a full car. I am trying to avoid that.

Some people I've seen on the forums have gotten away with +42 offset on a 7 or 7.5 wheel (maybe rubbing on occasion) with a 1-2in drop.

But with a +40 on an 8in wide wheel, if you are lowered, I'd say you will rub.

 

I am lowered on H&R sports with Koni Yellows so I don't know. It will be a bit before I put them on and I may see if I can get a few millimeters machined off the wheels to drop it down some.

 

We show that you may need to roll the fender lips when using a 17x8 on the 01 Accord. That offset should be fine as long as you are willing to roll the fenders.

 

post pics when there mounted on the car...

 

Yeah I am gonna roll the lips for sure. I think it will look awesome. Right now I am taking the wheels apart so I can polish the lip out really nice and painting the centers a new color. I have not decided what color yet but I am thinking gloss black or satin black. Opinions?

 

keep me updated...i found rims but there 8's too...i think there too wide even if you roll your fender...as far as rubbing goes, especially when you have passengers in the rear... well very interested in how this turns out and especially how these will look...i think it'll look hard as hell...i wouldn't paint the face though...i would just leave them the way they are...that greyish/silver powder coat with the polished lip.... badass rims....

The only thing is that the wheels are used and they have some imperfections on the spokes and I don't like that, so I will probably end up blasting them and repainting or polishing them all the way out.

 

oh yeah...i think polished would like nice...
