Default Question about wheels and offset

Hello I'm new my first time posting! My question is about offset and how far the wheels will stick out. I have a 93 eg coupe with h22 swap and want to run wide wheels with finder flares. My question.... If I buy 15x10 wheels with -25 offset how far will they stick out past my fender, will they rub, will I need to cut my fenders what size tire should I run? I basically want them to stick out about 1inch to 1.5 inches what do I need to get to achieve this look. I'm looking into diamond Steele's if that makes any difference. I really appreciate any feedback you guys can give me and thank you!

15x10 with flares is doable but the -25 offset is just ridiculous. Are you going wide for bigger tires and more traction or because you want a deep dish wheel and that stance life?

I mainly just want to do it to run a deep dish wheel and for the look because it's H swapped and I can't slam it I want to go a different route. So what kind of offset should I run if any? I'm afraid it will rub to much wile I'm turning if I don't run any offset. And would I need to cut any of the quarters out I can't go super low because of the H swap in it. My wheels are barely tucked now with 15s and 195/60s on it. And thank you for your feedback!

Probably around +25, I ran these on my CRX to test fit a 245 and they required extended studs and a 15mm spacer to clear the suspension.

For reference here is a 15x9 +35 with a 225/45/15 getting a 15x10 -25 on there would require some WIDE fenders.

So a 15x10 with a +25 offset would have them stick out enough to run flares? Would I need to run a spacer with them? By the way love the crx I had an 89 si was my first Honda and still my favorite car!

Yes you’ll need a spacer/ extended lug nut studs and yes you’ll need flares.

Not to be mean but you shouldn’t get 10” wide wheels. They’re going to look bad and function poorly for what you’re doing. You should start with a 15x7.5” or 8” max and hopefully you won’t destroy your fenders so when this trend dies off your car won’t be ruined.

The hadling will be abysmal and the ride will beat you to death if you go that wide.

I think I'll just start out with some wheel spacers and see if I even like the look before I spend a bunch of money on wheels and tires and decide I don't like it. You guys have been really helpful though and I appreciate your help!
