*** Question on Offset for 16" Wheels ***
I plan on getting 16x7 wheels and they have an offset of +42. I also plan on dropping the prelude with eibach sportlines (1.7 front and 1.5 rear). Will the wheels rub with this setup? I was looking at a sticky they have over at another honda prelude forum and it said that there is a possibility of rub depending on the drop but it didnt say how much or little of a drop causes wheel rub. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.
Oh.. I have a gen. 4 if that makes any difference.

hard to say, it's in that grey area.
shave that tab in the rear fenderwell and it MIGHT work, depending on what tires you're on.

Re: (chau003)
hmm i don't know if anyone has any pictures around but,
if you look in the rear wheelwell, you'll see towards the aft of the car, a place where the rear bumper meets the quarterpanel. there's a screw holding the 2 together. the place where they meet has a little plastic tab that kind of sticks out .5" into the wheelwell from the body. take a dremel and trim off the extra plastic.
