Yes there will problems.
Why do you want to put those your car?
They're too wide and ugly as hell.

Enough said. A friend had some xxr on his 4dr gsr and looked funky as hell.

Leave those wheels to the 240sx and miata drivers.

the only major problem ull really have is camber wear and rubbage. role ur fenders as much as u can to die down the rubbage. but those wheels would look hot tho. good luck

You'll likely need tons of camber (which is gay), stretched tires, (gay) and rolled fenders. Which I think is stupid. My opinon though

To be honest, this is the only car that I think looks good with those xxr that isn't a 240sx or miata.

i have been running 15 * 7 and the offset was +37 and they rubbed on my camber arms at the back. if i went round a hard corner they would make a horrible scrapping noise.
15*8 haha good luck with that one.

yea sportmax xxr whatever they are today, its not that they dont look good, they are crap in general.. The bend easily, rust easily, don't fit properly, they are about 3-5mm off on the hub bore size to what it is supposed to be. the build of these wheels is by far the worst i have ever seen in a set of wheels.

Rota's arent even that bad. Yes, they have been known to bend and brake. BUT, that could happen TO ALL wheels. Even the $3000 26's people have.

buy the wheels and rock the **** out of them. but i would get +20 offset and run a 215/45/15 tire!. and you will need about 2 degrees of camber if your slammed/dumped

put them on the car then modify the car so the changes can't be undone, then you will be happy

Wow, I'm amazed that the whole hellaflush fad seems to be dying out here all of a sudden.

That's good. It needed to die. Hondas are not VeeDubs, yo.

tire size should be determined by vehicle, not by what wheel you have. also, as people have mentioned above, the low offsets don't work on honda's without fender mods and crazy suspension geometry.

from your sig i assume you have a 96-00 hatch so depending on the year and trim you can follow the reccomended tire sizes below:

For a CRX, del sol, del sol Si, or pre-'96 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

13" - 175/70-13
14" - 185/60-14, 195/55-14
15" - 195/50-15
16" - 205/40-16, 195/45-16

For an Integra, del sol VTEC, or '97-00 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

14" - 185/65-14, 195/60-14
15" - 195/55/15, 205/50-15
16" - 205/45-16 would be the best size but 215/45-16 will work also but only if your car isnt too low and if the wheel offsets aren't too low.
17" - 205/40/17

You really should start off by search a little, this topic has been coverd so many times people on this site are starting to get tired of it.

Then start a different thread just for you, not thread jack another guys.

You SHOULD be runing 205-50-15, but i honestly doubt it will clear without tons of camber and rolled fenders. It also depends on how low you are.

...or 195/55-15, and that's assuming ekhatch123 has a '97-00 Civic. If it's a '96 EK hatch, then 195/50-15.

Ok like i previously said " ima a noob " meaning to this site and EVERYWHERE i look it is a question like mine and it turnes out to be people **** talking others. i made an account to find out what size tires i need to run because none of the others questions were answered i have no clue on tire size or anything or i wouldnt have came here... now you say i "SHOULD" run those but but i will have to have tons of camber witch is fine i suppose but i would like to know the absolute smallest size i can go with those rims to prevent as much cambering, scrubbing that i can.... and as far as me thread jacking another guys and not starting my own "im a noob" idk how or i would have so im sorry if you could give me the little bit of info i have asked for it would be greatly appreciated....
