Default Flush fitment EK - help a brotha out

I'm not finding a thread that covers this, if there is one please direct me to it.

I would like to know what some flush EK guys are running as far as EXACT wheel/tire/offset/spacer size and would like to see pics to go with the info. Right now I'm riding low with 15x7 +35 with 205/50/15 and with camber kits it's not looking too sunk but it's not flush either. I'm thinking a 195/50/15 with 10mm spacers rear +a little more camber and 195/50/15 front with 15mm spacers and I shouldn't have to touch the camber, but I can't know for sure. Ideas is really what I need! Thank you guys.

You can run the 10mm spacers, but remember that you will obviously need extended studs to compensate.

That flush wheel fitment is very over rated... I wouldn't even bother.

I have 15x7 +40 with 15mm spacer and 205/50/15. heres what it looks like with stock camber. this is when I had 195/55 in front, ignore the back wheel. Compared to not having spacers it makes the handling more stable but it increases turning radius.

DXhatch - thank you for the studs info I think I'll get the adapter type that bolt on and have studs on the spacers

NyPosterBoy - yes, flush fitment is very ricer. I'd rather my wheels be sunk 3" into the wheel well like yours but i just can't help but to cling on to these stupid fads

Rylan - haterade

Alphalanos - THANK YOU ! You get a giant cookie. Bonus points for also having vsm and black slips.

Haha, yes OP was moronic for having zero knowledge of anyone else's car, and calling them out. As others have said, search. Is it honestly that difficult?

OP you're a trendy douche. You are one of the new age kids that ruins the honda scene. Why not just buy some F**ktarded 15x9 xxr's with a 0 offset, will those be hellatrend enough for you?

Nothing wrong with wanting to sit flush lol. He never mentioned that he wanted to run 0 offset or any of the like...

Much better than having wheels sunk in deep lol.

np. This is probably the most 'fitment' I will ever have because I like using 205 tires without rubbing

Flush or hellacambertrendyflush like everyone seem to consider flush???? Does he need to be using the sidewall of his tire as a contact patch before it is flush enough?

Spacers won't really help that much. It just makes the face of the wheel stick out more, gives the car a "bulky" look. A 15x7/8 wheel with a natural +10 to +15 offset slammed with roughly -3 camber looks perfect on a honda. 195/50/15 tire.

I agree with that comment,
To me, if you're going super wide to the point of having to set -5 camber to not rub (most of the time) and only the bottom of your wheel is sitting out past the fender...that technically isn't flush.

I think spacers done in moderation do make the bottom of the car look beefier which is aesthetically please and definitely helps with turning corners fast!
