Hi guys,

Finally i have choosen the below wheels 16*7 for my em1 paired with 205/45 tires.
I am worried about its offest +35
I am lowered about 1.5 inches.
Any body got the same set up? Will it rub?

I dont want to get them and then be in troubles!

 

Those will fit just fine, you might have to roll your fenders a little bit but other then that you'll have no fitment problems. I had 16x7 +20 with 205/45's on my Integra and they fit after I rolled my fenders

 

So in genral they will rub ! and i will have to roll my fenders?
Well this is the main probem that im worried about :s

BTW did you realize any change in the car handling ? is it true that a low offset negatively effect handling?

 

With a +35 you probably won't rub. If for some reason you have to roll your fenders it is not hard to do at all. A little patience and time it will come out fine.

I did not notice any difference in how the car handled. I think you would only notice a change in handling if you are going with crazy low offsets

 

ok great..
thx man

 

16x7 +35 will work fine with 205/45. No need to roll.

 

It depends on the height. I rubbed on 205/45s, but not 205/40s

 

hi again.. just one more question which I could find a clear answer on google.

what does the Z stand for on a tire.. for example:

205/45 R16 and 205/45 ZR16 ?

Is it true that the ZR has a stronger sidewall?

 

Here's a nice layout of what the tire ratings mean: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=35

(The portion on Z-rating is closer to the bottom.)

 

With 205/40 u will be just fine, just need a bit of roll the fenders.

He mentioned being lowered about 1.5 inches.

 

on and off topic I had a Capri that some fool had put the wrong wheels on once, caused a wear mark on the side of the strut! soon sorted with a spacer

Looks good btw
