body work??
i was about to purchase some rims exactly like this for my ef 4 door but the guy told me that i would need major body work to do this.. i do not think this is true because i always see hondas with low offset rims!! might a need a camber kit and thats all??
depending how low you are, might not need anything if stock. otherwise cut and rolled fenders and you should be good. No "major" bodywork of anykind I would think of. Someone can set me straight though.
i know soooooooooooooooo many people who stretch their tires like that, or even more than that. its perfectly safe to drive on

you don't see alot of civics with offsets like that because its not necessary for anything but asthetics. If it floats your boat, kewl. VW guys have been stretching tires for years, there is nothing unsafe about it (unless its that VIP style 205 on a 9" wide wheel bullshit).

actually im not kidding. if my tires are not at least flush with the lip of the rim i will not use them. i just feel uneasy about having a tire thats stretched beyond what it was intended for. i personally think its unsafe. to each his own.
I don't know that it isn't safe, but I do know it is illegal in a few places. That's why JC Whitney sells those crazy wide fender flares for the offroading guys. I'm pretty sure it's more about flinging rocks and stuff on people behind you, but I don't see that being a problem with street tires on crazy offsets.
