Default Another Offset Question

Hey, I searched and couldn't find a definitive answer to my offset problem. I'm looking into a 17x7 +35 offset wheel. I want to know if they will fit on my 94 Accord with H&R Sports with KYB AGX's. I know +38 is considered the minimum offset, so if I used a 3mm spacer, would I be OK? My car's not slammed, it's only lowered about 1.5-1.75 in. Thanks for the help.

I wouldn't go under +38. Anything under that is pushing it. Even with a spacer. I never cared for spacers that much anyway. It puts to much pressure on your wheel studs.

i assume from the name, you have a 94 accord. a +35 offset isn't low and isn't pushing it. i have a 15x7, +35, on a 93 accord no problems.

btw, the limit seems to be more in our heads, not on the car- short of hitting the fenders of course.

Well, I'll find out. I just bought a set of Advan RC's off ebay with a +35 offset. That's at least what the guy said it was, wheelspecs and another website said they came with a +45 offset. I got a great deal, $575 shipped with 2 brand new tires. Should look sweet. The only problem is they're white, so I'll eventually have to get them powdercoated a dark gunmetal. I figue even if the offset is too much, any 240 owner would ****** them up pretty quick for $600. I've never seen a set of the first gen RC's on any car before.
