41 would be your best bet, you can run a azenis 205 which is pretty wide.

35 you would rub with even a 195/50/15. on a crx

wouldnt +41 be a lil too 'inside' the wheel well ?
I wanna run 195/45 15 tires

oh, and would these wheels be easily bendable ? or are they strong ?

IS THIS GUY USING +41 OR +35 offset ?

in that case go with the 35, it will be more flush with the fenders.

Go with the +41. Thats whats on my car and they look awsome. It sounds like a lot of offset but it really isnt. As far as strength they didnt do all that great going over a curb.

Before they faught the curb and lost.

Messed up wheel 1

Messed up wheel 2


Hope this helps

Sean

P.S. According to Enkeis website the +41's are a half a pound lighter too.

they are forged. forging is a process in wich you take a piece of hot metal and stamp it into a shape. This keeps the grainular structure of the metal at its optimal strength level. Wich is why they are lighter, stronger, and more expensive. But nothing is indestructable. If your not going to track the car i don't see a reason to buy a forged wheel. I track my car and i don't have a forged wheel. If you have the money then i say go for it. Otherwise they make a nice knock off of that wheel.

thw lower the offset, the more the wheel will stick out.

increasing offset, will suck the wheel back into the fenderwell.
