Hey fellas.. working on getting a midori ek hatch and was wondering if u guys have ran a wheel offset/width combo like this.. the wheels are 15x7.5 and they are et 18?? thanks

 

I love OZ turbo's, but i think it's gonna get difficult fitting them nicely under a Civic. Maybe it will just work.

If you look at what people recommend usually, a 7J wide wheel with offset +42, this will stick about 4cm more out.

It would look hot though.

Well im basically a vw guy building a honda so it will be nothing like a reg honda .. yet it will be totally tasteful.. im thinking they are gonna be a similar offset as these..(those are vw wheels btw with bigger lips so well see..

 

195/45-15 tires
negative camber
rolled fenders
perfect ride height


it is very possible...

Do you happen to know the wheel specs on that midori green hatch? Im looking into gettin some wheels with similar specs on my EL.

nice wheels super choice....shouldnt have a hard time getting them to fit... 15x7.5 et +18 ... ek's are easy to dump they go reaaaaaaal low easily ... as others were saying yes neg camber will be needed ... im rolling 15x7 7.5 rears at about +10 to +20 et on my dc wheels never came with a manf sticker...all that is needed is a fender roll...

those are bbs rms.. they are actually factory bbs wheels that came off 91 and 92 volkswagen 16v gtis .. it also looks to have the same lips i do so his wheels would be 8 inches wide .. not sure on the offset but it should be simalar to the wheels im runnig.. For what its worth i tried out a wheel on my buddys hatch and they poke real bad lol.. so i guess im gonna buy one tires and when i get my car and coilovers im gonnna see if i can jack enough camber to run them.. I also noticed that the brake rotors are really thick on the fronts.. im having thoughts of taking a bit off the face to the rotor to get the backspacing down.. ill keep u guys updated

That's a pic of my hatch from '05. I can tuck the 15x8s all day long so 7.5s won't be and issue. It looks like a lot of poke if you test fit the wheels at a reasonable height, but they will tuck...
