Is the +40 offset enough to avoid rubbing the rear fender (with proper camber adjustment). One of the reasons I'm switching wheels is that my 16's (which I don't know the offset) had to be at such an extreme neg camber to keep from rubbing. I disliked the look and disliked the tire wear even more. I'd hate to get a new set of rims and tires and go through the same thing! There's enough people out there running these, could I get some feedback please? I have a 00 Civic Si and will be using either 195/55 or 205/50.

 

would I be better off with +45 15x7?

 

i dont know if this will help at all, but i have 17x7.5's on my 00 si. my car is lowered. tire size is 205 40 17, offset 40. i dont rub at all. i had toyo proxies on the rims, then i got ventus hankooks.

 

I am running 205/50/15 kuhmo's on my slipstreams. They are on my 98 ex and I have it lowered 1.5" in the rear and 1.75" in the front with h&r sport springs and kyb agx's. No rubbing hear

 

You will be fine with a +40 offset w/ 195s and 205s. But if you are super-slamming it of course it will rub.

 

my bad... i cant read.. i thought you were going to 16s.. sorry..
