How much of a drop you have would be some good info.

Im down around 2 inches with 16x7 with a 40 offset
I have no rubbing issues lock to lock. I dont think a 42 offset would make much more of a difference, Also can i recommend a 205/45 tire. I wouldnt go 205/40

205/40 is a pretty skinny sidewall. Plus the 205/45 will keep your mph gauge reading corectly, closer to stock tire height than 205/40.

205/45/16 tire. hondas come stock with a 45 offset so 40 or 42 will be fine
