So i found the set of wheels i've always wanted, BUT. The rims are staggered 16x7 for the front and 16x8 for the rear with a +33 offset. They are mounted on 205/50/16 tires. Currently i'm lowered on h&r sport springs (1.5"F & 1.3"R i think) but i will be picking up a set of F2 coilovers in the near future.

So at this drop will i rub? or should i be fine?

Thanx in advance.

 

I don't see rubbing to be an issue as much as sticking out beyond the body. "Easy" fix is to get the mating surface of either the rim or brake rotor/drum machined, but you can only go like 5mm on either

 

Im rubbing at stock height with my 5th gen on 17x8 with a +35. But my tires are 225/45/17

 

what exactly does rubbing mean?? tires hitting fender?

 

Tires hit fender/liner or inner frame

 

you probably will be alright. you are in a gray area with those wheel sizes and offset.

just remember, stagger setup on a fwd vehicle will handle slightly different (read worse) in most situations

 

you might be ok. if you're close, you can roll the fenders.

 

man i really want these wheels....


is any1 out there running low offset wheels on their 4th gen?

 

You'll be fine. I had a set of old school Enkei mesh wheels on my previous Prelude, 16.7 +28 offset with 215/45/16 Falken Azenis, with a 2 inch drop.
They didn't stick out at all and never rubbed. I didn't even have to roll the fenders.

If you like them that much I say go for it

Dude, you'll be fine. Trust me.
Like I said, my wheels had a lower offset and wider tires AND my car was lower than yours. They fit just fine. Unfortunately, I have no pics to show you...
