I keep forgetting what the stock offset is on the stock R wheels but I know the Rotas are a +40 offset. I'm really looking @ geting the Rota Attack wheels & I need to know if I'm looking @ fender clearance probs w/ them cause my R has the Skunk 2 lowering springs on it w/ a camber kit on all corners to bring the wheel lean back into specs. Is the +40 offset going to cause me to have any fender rub? I talked to the guy @ JayDM.com & he says no. He also said I need to be sure the wheels will clear the brakes. I know the R has bigger calipers but I've never heard of this being an issue. Any advise in any good direction would be very much appreciated. Thanks your time reading my post.

I don't think Skunk 2's off the shelf springs lower the ITR enough that you are going to have a problem.
I have two sets of 15x7 +38 wheels with 225-45-15 tyres, mounted on a car that's lowered on the front enough to get -2.5 degrees camber, and I don't have a problem.
I also have a set of Spoon 16x7 +45 wheels, and I don't have a problem with 215-45-16 tyres on those.
The OEM JDM 16x7 Honda wheels are +50, and I think the OEM USDM wheels are the same offset.
There's a huge seller of Rota wheels who advertises at Honda Tech. His company is JLB Motorsports. You might want to think about asking him directly. https://honda-tech.com/zero...00490 and he has a long running thread at https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1.

I've got the same wheels and the old Azenis but lowered 3/4". It's about a 2 finger gap but the top of the tires sit vertically right under the wheel arch.

Yeah, I realized the error of my ways, AFTER THE POSTING, I didn't know how to retract it, so there it sits... Guess that's what I get for posting before my first cup of coffee was ready.

I had problems with my 16x7 +45 Rota Subzeroes. No issues with the tires whatsoever (stock suspension). However, the spokes rubbed the caliper. Fixed with 3mm spacers.

Well to my disappiontment I talked to a Rota dealer & I can only get the Slipstream in flat back w/ the 5X114.3 lug pattern. BUMMER! I really wanted the Rota Attack.
