Default 15x7+15 Eg?

Wanting to order some 15x7 +15's for my hatch. Car WILL NOT BE SLAMMED. I just want the wheels to be as flush as possible. Do you guys think i'll have any issuses. Car is on F&F coils and I"m not opposed to having some wheel gap. Also which would be better 205's or 195's. Or should i just say screw it and just get some +40 offset wheels and run spacers? Did a lil searching and only found one topic and it was 2 years old. Also too much **** to look threw on the low offset thread.

For your '92-95 Civic, get 195/50-15.

A 205/50 tire on a 15x7 wheel will have a slight "crown"/or bubble effect in the sidewall and have a slightly larger footprint... Whereas a 195/50 will leave you with a flat sidewall... And Im pretty sure with a +15 offset, your gonna want a flat sidewall, otherwise youll have some BIG rubbing issues. Even not slammed, you might have some slight rubbing even running the 195 series...

why do you need spacers? +40 offset will fit fine. if you use a 195/50 and you push it out more it will give the effect that you will have even more fender gap as usual. of youre talking maybe a 3 or 5mm spacer then it wont affect it that much

getting a +15 offset wheel without slamming your vehicle and/or running negative camber will push the tire out of your wheel well.
