Default 15 inch wheel fitment ?

About to purchase new rims. Anyone know if 15 inch rims would properly fit on my rsx type s ? Will the brakecaliper obstruct the fitment. Also, would a difference of (+/- 5) in the offset from stock be an issue ? thanks everyone.

they wont fit. it's worse with 05+ models because the rotors got bigger. went from 10.2 to 11" rotors.

Theres a few guys somewhere on here that had 15x7 team dynamics pro race 1 on their rsx and it was a pretty tight fit. So far thats the only 15" wheel I've seen fit without going for some special order wheels.
I'm also told that these clear the 11" wilwood kit as well


Here they are clearing the DC5R brembos

OK, you have no idea what you are talking about. First, the 02-04 and 05+ TypeS have the exact same brake rotors and calipers. Second, the rotors are 11.8" diameter. Third, the 15" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 fit great on the TypeS, with room to spare.
