Icon3 90 EF Sedan wheel fitment

Ok Im bout to buy new wheels but I need more opinions...Hopefully yall can help..Im dead set on sportmax wheels, either 501 or 513. I dont wanna hear how I should get expensive custom wheels blah blah! Their deep, flush and cheap.Its my daily! Expensive wheels will have my car on blocks in a few hours. Any ways, I really want 16s but I dont wanna sacrifice the deepest lip possible.So maybe 15x8 w/ 10 or 15 offset would be good w/o too much trouble??Yes Im ready to roll and flair the fenders, no prob. Im a pro. paint and body tech. Dont really wanna stretch tires either but idk..So tell me what you think please! ?????? I tried lookin for specs on the sick black EF sedan w/ the bbs's but I cant find it on here.....

The 5x8 with 15 offset will fit just fine on the EF

Also, FYI, SportMax is now XXR

I've had15x7 SportMax 002's on my EF for 3 years now and love them. I've got the 962's on my Maxima and love them as well.

the ideal offset on an EF for an 8" wide wheel is +24.

So get as close to that as you can.

If they only come in +15, then that should be fine. you'll just have a bit more poke.

You will definitely need to roll and pull front and rear fenders.

post up pics when you get it sorted out!

I asked a similar question earlier… I wanted to know if 15x8s with 225/45ZR15s are too wide. https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/15x8-225s-big-2835401/
I like these http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/challenger.html

Note below the +40 offset...
