Default rota grids. do i need a camber kit?

ok im getting a set of rota grids. 16x8 with a 20mm offset. for tires its bf-g force 205/40-16.
i would prefer not to use a camber kit. my buddy has a fender roller which i will borrow to give me as much clearance a possible. oh and there going on my 98 hatch

i found these pictures of the wheels on the same exact car. only difference is thats he is running a 10mm offset in the rear, i could not find any more info on this car to find out weather or not he is using a camber kit.

Actually in the process of getting the same size fitted on my 01 teg.
Not a "wheel/tire" expert by any means, but mocking them up on my car they are already past the fender by about .75 in. Fender rolling plus a camber kit would be good. I don't know what that guy with the red hatch did to get his to fit.

However, if your front brake rotors are less than 10.2" (smaller than LS integra) then inside of these wheels will hit the caliper bracket. Then you'll either have to upgrade front brakes or run spacers. I'm doing the latter.

Just a heads-up!

Maybe dx brakes aren't as wide as integras? if so then even better!

205 tires are too narrow for 8" wheels. You don't want this to happen, do you?

^^this info is right but to run 16x8 with a +20 offset the 205 40 16 tire you listed is going to be too big for it to work how you want it to. even though it is dangerous you need to run a 195 45 16. you may be able to pull of the bigger size. either way you are going to most likely need a camber kit and your fenders rolled. low offset wheels take a lot to run but are worth it in the end.
