I am looking at getting these wheels for my 2001 integra but im not sure on which offset I should get. My car is lowered on Koni/Ground Control's, right now it sits pretty low. I'd say it's a 2 3/4" drop on stock wheels on 195/55-15 tires. I don't have any major rubbing problems now, only when I am at full lock.

I want to run the +35's but im not sure if I will have clearance problems. I found a picture in the RPF1 thread of a integra with +35 offset, but it was running the wrong size tire. Im looking at running a 205/45-16 or a 215/45-16 Azenis.

Will I have any clearance problems running +35 with the above tire sizes? I don't have a problem raising the car somewhat but I don't want to get these and have the tires banging the fender and having to raise up the car like a 4x4.

Any pictures, comments or insight is welcome.

 

i like the 35s too,but,they will rub..i have 16"konig mesh 40mm offset w/ 195-50-16 tires and they rub on fast turns in the front(back is fine)..go for it tho..roll the rear fenders pull the fronts use the narrowest tire 195 or 205

 

If you plan on running a wider tire then normal i would suggest going with a +35 offset. I would rather rub on the outer fender then rub on the inside fender well. You can always prevent the rubbing on the outside from rolling your fenders or just simply raising your car. Or what you can run is a +43 and throw on a 5mm spacer which brings it down to +38 and with a 215 series tire you should be fine.

 

Anybody else?

Another question...Do you think the wheels could be machined down to another offset rather than running spacers?

 

not a good idea,that will probably alter the integrity of the wheel.

I would rather run a high quality spacer such as H&R then machining the wheel. It could possibly weaken in the integrity of the wheel.

 

I read that Enkei makes this wheel in 1 offset, then machines it down to make their other offsets. I tired getting pictures of the backside to see if it could be done but I have had no luck.

 

+35 and just cut that little lip and roll the rest a little. you'll be fine. and run 195's.

 

well whats your reasoning for wanting to run the 35 offset..??
