I was finally able to find a combination of wheel setup that will work on the car. I asked about this nearly a year ago in this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1821783

18" x 7.5" in the front with a 215/35/18 (wheel has a claimed 38mm offset)
18" x 8.5" in the rear with a 225/40/18 (wheel has a claimed 35mm offset)
I say claimed because they also claim to have a 1.75" lip on that 8.5" rear wheel, and a 2.25" lip on the 7.5" front wheel. Haven't measured the exact amounts, but there is definitely NOT a half inch additional dish/lip on that front wheel versus the rear wheel.



I'm lovin' it!!
also...we did roll the rear fenders, and installed Eibach springs. The rear looks excessively lower than the front because I was on a 4500 mile road trip with loaded trunk. With that it only rubbed the rear bumper mounting bolt on severe bumps but I'll relocate that not that I'm back from the trip.

Actually, I agree to your feelings on the other SportMax wheels, but the 962 has been a favorite of mine for years.
...a big thanks to you with the post regarding your wheel setup: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2083768
That allowed me to get a better idea as to what was going to fit, and what tire to run as well.
Thank you!
