Default Rota wheel questions for my 2002 ep3

I would like a 17 to 18 inch rota wheels for my hatch. I was looking at the p1's and it looks like they have a universal lug pattern like a 4x100 pattern that would fit my hatch please reply back i would like to know if they fit and if they offset is gonna be to big. I already checked on the width it's gonna be fine.

When i reasearched the P1's from rota it didn't directly say it would fit a honda but it did look like it had a 4x100 lug pattern on it. Also if i can get a answer that says that they will. Also which is the best way to roll fenders. I feel like they will need to be rolled if i was to do coilovers and 17's i would like 18's but i don't think i'll have much luck

You need a fender roller like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem You can rent them for just under $100.

4x100 will fit but the 18" will be too big. What's the width?


***I meant I had to roll my quarter panels.

I figured out i am goin to prolly go with a diffrent wheel just cause i over looked sizes and stuff. I am going to go with the rota boost wheels they are 17x8.0 with a +40 offset and a 4x100 pattern. But yea i will look in to the fender roller. But u said u just had to do your quarter panels right?

Just the quarter panels but I don't have an 8 inch rim. Mine is only 17x7. Why are you looking at such big rims? My next set will be 16x7 (I bought the car with the 17x7s).

I was looking at suck a big rim just for the fact that i really liked them and that was the only size they came in. So u go your car with the rims on them and they were rubbing correct that's why you rolled them. Don't want to sound stupid. I just want to make sure I am getting everything correct or close to it

I am going to lower just a inch I think. I am stock right now. It all depends on what the rims look like first on the car to see if and how much i will lower. Then maybe i won't have to roll the fenders at all.

If you got 18s I guarantee a 1 inch drop won't be low enough for you.
