Default **ek civic wheel question** please help

hey people, can anyone help me, my friend is searching for wheels for his ek civic and hes found these

limited edition rays ce28n honda racing edition

the problem is they only do a 15" in the 4 lug civic fitment, will these fit over his 300mm brake conversion from a EP3?

thanks in advance

even if they dont,just get some spacers

I think it'd be hard to judge too,because sometime the design of the spokes has more to do with it than offset..

My wedsports cleared my brakes just fine,they were 43 offset..

now I have 43 offset te's and i had to get a 5mm spacer because the spokes are flat and dont curve..

so the 39mm would be best? and there wouldnt be a problem with the caliper touching the inside of the rim? (the spokes would be the only worry?)

There will be somewhere... have you looked through the various ek threads? The Volk Wheels thread? It can't be that hard to find some ek's on ce28's, i wouldn't think.

Im pretty sure the EP3s came stock with 15" wheels... so Id venture to guess that those Volks would clear the brakes no problem in either offset.

they will fit. EP brakes are only 10.5"
they will even clear 11.1" itr brakes
regardless of offsets offered.
