Icon2 89 Ef Si Help w/ Wheels

Hi Ht. I have a 89 civic Ef si i recently bought, and i want some new shoes on it. Im kinda confused on what size and spec wheel would be good/stylish without fender rolling and using a camber kit. Im looking into TRM C1's. I've seen EF's with 15x8 with 20 offset... but i know that will take lots of modding. Well anyways i want a good size 15 by maybe 7? But unsure of the offset. Im thinking 15x7 +35?? (sorry still a noob at this)

[/QUOTE]

Something like this, but for a daily. What would u guys recommend?

15x7 +42 (recommended by the wheel site)
15x7 +35?

205/50 or 195/50?

Thanks.

there is no way that is +35 that is nearer to +10/15, unless he is using spacers

I think those are the 15x8's, to be honest.

15x7 +35 will fit just fine with a properly sized tire.

at natural ride height? define plz?

if you mean w/o ANY drop 15x7 +35/32 would not rub ONE bit

i had (last wheels) 15x7 +35 on eg hatch medium drop and had to run 1.4* camber in fromt and "tabs" on fender lip rolled, not the whole lip.

195/55/15 or 195/50/15 would be ideal, unless you have a B series or good torque. 205/50 feel a bit heavy on single cams and are a little bigger all the way around.
