Default Would GD3 HFP rims "Fit"?

HFP 16" Alloy Wheels
8-Spoke wheel design. Carbon bronze finish. Comes with HFP logo. Recommended tire size 205/45 R16.
- 16x6 1/2
- 55 Offset

Would they work on the EM2?

Pics for reference......

That 55 offset is not a good thing. You would have to run a minimum of 10MM spacers to have what would be considered a safe level of offset.

bingo, the offset is a little high, spacers will help that out tho.

You guys beat me to it, but yes, you'd need atleast an 8mm spacer (closest you could run with 205's is +47).

I wouldn't mind having the 16" 5-spoke HFP gunmetal rims made for our cars...Those are nice.

Blah! I've been thinking about those as well, they would look awesome on the em2, plus they are cheaper than the civic hfp wheels, ebay has them for around $600- and handaccessories.com has them for ~$154. Good luck if you decide to get them

I would, but they are too high an offset, and a little too narrow than what I am looking for.

Wishing I could get the FG2 Si rims in a 4x100 lug pattern, that would kick ***.

I have no need for 5 lug. Plus, I wouldn't have the money for something like that right now anyways.
