This is the tech section. We do actual technical threads here. What you want is not technical, at all.

You're looking for either Wheel and Tire or Appearance. Try again.

I am interested in a solid answer for this too, not "offset around 25 maybe?"

strigga, ppl also prefer if you give specific details about the car in the first post, 2 or 4 door, exact year, etc

my civic is a 93 EX 4 door. I want the same exact size wheels as the OP

I'd like to know which 8x15 wheels fit without rolling fenders or without camber kits. Which offset is good for that?

Strigga that was the same answer I got when I asked literally the same question, bolt-on-only wheels.

apparently 15x7 is the limit for our chassis without messing around with the body. IV got other problems to fix first but I'm probably gonna end up modifying the wheel wells despite not wanting to. I'd really like to keep the car original since thats the condition I got it, at this point I'm leaning toward going all out full restoration, engine swap w/ stroked out block and maybe even a turbo.

It really depends on the width of tire your running. My Enkei 15x7 +36 with same 205 star specs still needed the lip rolled.

Its real easy to measure and see exactly what fitment you want. Remove wheel and compress LCA and suspension to ride height, then measure off of the hub. Center of the wheel is 0 offset. + to front of rim, - to back. If a wheel says 15x7, it is about 8 inches wide at the outer most edge.

Easiest way(without fender roller) is use small base ball bat and roll the lip. Then use a phone book between the wheel and fender. Lower the suspension to push the tire into the fender well. x4 Key to pulling is gradually working the fender wider and not just all at once. A heat gun will help protect the paint
