Default newbie question for crx owners..

okay, just got some kosei k1s, 15x7
car is a CRX si (canadian, meaning rear drums)..
seems to me that they don't fit, but everyone sez that they should!!
am i mounting them incorrectly? they are massively rubbing against one of my rear arms...
does the crx need 15x6.5??

TIA!!

if they are rubbing in the rear then use a spacer...you probaly got the wrong offset

yeah what is the offset on the rim? if you look on the inside there should be a number stamped into it, like a +41, -38 something like that. And how low are you? stock? Did you buy them used? What did they come off of? Was that lowered?

well, it came off a civic coupe, lowered on H&R sports and koni yellows
my car is lowered (just a sport drop, nothing extreme)
the offset seems to say +45

the rims are used

...what size tires? Or a better question is, is the tire rubbing or the rim itself?

I have Kosei K1s with 45mm offset on mine and have no problems. I did use those spacer rings though--they were $15 for the set.
