Post EG hatchback XXR rims

I wanted to buy a set of 15 inch black chrome lip XXR 501 rims on my eg civic hatchback. How much will it stick out of the fender with my stock fenders. I am planning to leave the fenders unrolled and will it still look dope. i don't know how will it look without it rolled cant find any picture.
i am also wondering will the tein basic suspension be enough to drop it to leave a little gap to the fender. I don't want to drop it much till it blows but enough to drop it safe and look good. do i need to do any camber modifications etc.

idk what size combo is good but maybe the regular size, what is the best size to go. currently i got my car maybe about 1 to two finger gap on my 15 inch slipstreams now.
if i put xxrs on will the gap be higher etc?

the front is 2 inches, rear is about an inch and a half.

hell yes they rubbed - reason they are being sold. rolled fenders would have helped, but i don't want to do that. same with a camber kit - didn't want to go that route.

they can be made to work, just not by me.

how much is usually to go to that route. i was looking to get a setup like yours but with back and fronts the 15X8s?
what mods do you have to do to get it in a good and not rubbing balance?
is it hard how much does set up goes for as a fender rolling camber settings.

You contradict yourself.

If you want a nice, safe riding car with little to no wheel gap and without rolling your fenders, just buy wheels and tires that actually fit the car. 15x7 +38 with a 195/50 is ideal.

If you want to pull off some crazy staggered setup, then you need to go low, you need camber, and you need to roll the fenders. You will lose "safety" and you will lose handling.

how much does it usual go with the extra mods needed to fit the rims?
