Default Help with fitment

Hey guys I'm thinking about possibly trading my wheels with someone. I just don't know if his will fit my car or not.

15x7
+10 offset
205/50/50 tires

I have a 94 CX hatchback and I'm pretty sure it'll fit without rubbing. I'm dropped on coilovers so I can always raise my car if I need to but will these wheels fit my car?

Thanks in advance

I don't know about the offset - sounds very low to me, but others should know - but you're much better off with tire size 195/50-15 for your car (assuming this is for street use, not track use). And 195/50-15 generally fits better on 15x6 or 15x6.5 (although 15x7 will work).

Of course, since you're trading with someone, you can just try them with 205/50 and if they work, fine, you can get 195/50 when they wear out.

If the trade is in person, you could bolt 'em on and try 'em out, see if they rub, etc.

Yeah that's what I was planning on doing. I might just dismount my 195/50/15 and mount them on the rims (stretching a little) just for the piece of mind. I'm just worried about such a low offset I don't want it to stick out of the body or anything.

I'm hoping that someone could let me know if it'll basically fit and be flush without running crazy camber numbers because I don't want to eat up tires since this is my daily.

15 by 7 with a +10mm offset is going to be a pretty aggressive fit on your civic. You will at the very least need to run negative camber and roll the fender lining because the tire is a little wide as well

195/50-15's will not be "stretching" on a 7" wide wheel. In my opinion, MD offset wheels look absolutely retarded on FD offset cars. Your ride height will determine what camber you need to run, obviously the lower you are, the more negative you will be - making tire wear more rapid.
