So you bought the wheels and NOW you're wondering if they fit...hmmmmm.

15x7 is NOT very wide and will probably tuck in at the top, not very aggressive imo try 15x10/15x9 or something. how low is the car tho that play into the lokk obv.



No tech doe !

i have 15x7 +25s on my egs and they are perfectly even with the fenders, so +10 will stick out a little, nothing a little camber cant fix, and youll deff have to roll your fenders

What do you mean there goes my handling if I'm going with wider tires? and my fenders will be rolled definitely but that helped me picture a lot thanks how much camber do you think I will really need ? I want the flush kinda look

About -2 to -2.5 degree camber id say. Not much though. My civic was lowered and automatically went to -2.5

Here is a short list of all the ways that will affect your car:

Wheel Rate - Running that "negative" of an offset makes your suspension effectively "softer" because the wheel has more leverage on the suspension which is generally not a preferred characteristic of a sports car.

Scrub Radius - Essentially the further away from the stock effective rim center you get the more the steering wants to snap straight while you're cornering.

Stare Factor - This is a phenomenon that happens when someone performs a mod to their car that most people think looks dumb. It causes people stare at the vehicle and sometimes, in rare cases, shake their head.

It very unlikely those wheels will clear the front fenders unless you put a very narrow tire on them which will defeat the purpose of better handling. As far as the rear goes you're going to have to do some nasty things to the quarter panels to clear. My advice would be to sell the wheels and get something with a more appropriate offset.

he hasn't even mentioned tires size. How can you judge if its going to need camber solely based on wheel specs.

They will stick out about 3/4" more than a 15x7 +25 which sits flush. You will need 3-4 degrees of chamber. And your tires aren't wider, your rims poke out more. You haven't even mentioned tire size.

Your going to be stuck with a 175 or smaller therefore, there goes the handling. Your going to need to pull the fenders as well. I just don't understand why people don't measure to get the stance you want. It is easy to do!

Just sell them and get appropriate rims/tires. What you will need to do is unsafe and could lead to blowouts while driving.

Why bother posting if you will not take anyone's advice and plan on putting them on anyways.

It's so surprising how many people fail at the hellaflush look. OP, you're going to have to permanently mutilate the fenders on an EM1.

You're going to need aftermarket camber kits front and rear to get between -3.5 and 4 degrees of camber...if not more. Not only will this look dumb because 15x7 really isnt that wide...and you're going to need to use some shitty, narrow, and short tire size.

I'm going to guess you have maybe...coil sleeves on stock or close to stock shocks? Pair this with how "stylin" you'll be on a set of Rotas. L-a-m-e.

Those fitments that you see on websites and magazines took a lot of money...and basic knowledge of lowering a car. If you don't have both....it's going to turn out badly.

I get it though. Haters gon hate. Hella haters gon gator mate. Taters gon exacerbate. Stay fresh at all costs, player.

Function>Form.
15x7 or 16x7 +35 offset is IMO the best look that still serves a purpose. Anything more than that is useless on a Honda.

Because I already ordered them and there shipped already I was wondering what everyone thought about it that's why I posted this that's all I have tein full coil overs and I never worried about stance till now that's why I bought them i just built a type r and boosted it and ran a 12.1 in a quarter on radials I know more about the speed then stance and honestly I really couldn't find any wheels that I liked in 15x7 35 offset

If you've just done coilovers and that's it and you are DEAD SET on this silly look.
Order yourself front and rear camber kits as well as new bushings.

You're going to rip your OEM ones to shreds very quickly, chances are, they're already going/gone.
