Default need a quick fitment question answered....97 civic hatch

I was wondering if a 15X7 wheel with a +15 offset will be able to tuck into the wheel wells of my 97 civic hatch or will they stick out past the fenders? any info that you guys can offer me would be great.

They'll stick out some. You might need to add negative camber and/or roll fenders to tuck.

for a daily driver, i wouldnt recommend those sizes. they will need many mods to make it work.

what mods exactly are you talking about. i already have a camber kit in the rear and i have already rolled the lip of the fenders, and the inners are gone. this is not a daily. it is a have fun car that i drove in the summer. it does have bags so turning is fine because i can lift the car. i just want to know if it will tuck or what i have to do so it will. thanks again for the replies.

oh not at all, buddy. i just like to lead people in the right direction.

its just people see these low offsets all over appearance and cosmetic and they automatically think it will fit w/o modding their vehicle and/or they can easily use these fitments on a daily driven vehicle and have their car perform normally.
