16x7 +37 rims on 03 em2
Hi I'm Phil and I've been a long time lurker of honda tech and 7th gen forums, never thought of posting because people usually get crapped on for not searching first but being that I looked in the search bar and no luck and that i dont really have the time to go through 200+ forums to find my answer i thought id just ask.
I'm thinking of getting the above noted rim size w/ maybe 215-205 45 r16 tires and was wondering if the rim is going to sit nice and flat (flush? am i using that right?) with the front and back fenders. Was also going to lower and most likely roll the fender.

I've heard having lower + offset is similar to having spacers, is that true and would that be an option or do you think because the width of the tire it would look all ***** nilly.

I ran 16x8 +38's in the rear, with 245/45/16's and only 1 degree of negative camber and rolled quarter panels. (Harder to get clearance in the rear.) Last setup I ran was 17x9.5 +12 and some 275/40/17 Victoracer V700's... but I've widened the car roughly 3" a side.
I don't know what "look" you're going for, but the lower the offset number, the closer the wheel's lip will sit to the outer panels. Adding a spacer will effectively do the same thing, without changing the profile of the wheel itself. I look at running flush, as running as much tire as possible. A skinny tire sitting flush just looks out of place to me, but that's entirely subjective. You do what you like, not what I think is neat.
