I recently purchased some wheels that all have the same spec (15x7 +1). When I received them I did a little test fit to see how they would look, they stick out about 1.5inches. It is obvious that I will need to get a camber kit and make some adjustments to make them fit. Also to get an alignment, fix the toe, and shave my fenders. I know that when lowering your car everything is fudged up. Well what I'm asking is, is it okay to camber at a certain extent?

The vehicle is a 1996 Honda Civic 3DR Hatch.

 

Unless you're running stupid crazy camber like -5 deg. or more, with super-low profile tires, you should be fine as long as the toe is set correctly.

 

I'm aiming for a baby stretch, maybe 185/45 series tires?

 

ehhh damn man, that sounds a little excessive.

I'm pretty sure that size doesn't exist anyway. The smallest 185 tire for a 15" wheel that Tire Rack carries is 185/55-15.

 

id say go wit 195 45 15

 

It won't have the "stretched" look he's after I don't think. Maybe a slight bit with 195/45 sidewalls on 7" wheels, but nothing like the stretch on an 8" wheel. The safety and aesthetics of such a setup is arguable at best.
