Default 15X8 Issues.

I plan on getting a set of 15X8 wheels with +40 Offset or even +20 depending on fitment issues. Will it rub on a Civic EK during full lock? What about clearances from the camber arm and wish bone? I plan to run size 215 tires.

wow a 215 to tell you the truth man you may not get away with that. I have a set of 15x8's with a +15 offset I run on my 00si tire size is 195-50-15 and I don't have any probs only thing a had to do was roll my back fenders and that's it. But 215 may be too much what kinda wheel is it?

I agree with hondaman. Although EKs could get away with 215, but you need to roll fenders for sure. I had 16x8s back then and I ran 205/45/16s would totally rub on full lock making U-Turns in parking lots. The gap between the inner lip to the upper control arm when I ran the 16s was pretty close. I wasn't dumped either, just functional height of 1 finger gap. I'm currently running ITR reps of 15x6.5 +32 offset 195/55/15 and it's perfect.
