You'll want to include more information about the car when trying to get a response here.

1. What model car is it?
2. Has there been any suspension/brake modifications made?
3. What's the purpose of this car? (Meaning what type of driving it will be performing.)
4. Have you done anything to increase wheel/tire clearance?


To be honest, there's really no Honda that can fit a 15x12 safely without body work.

PS. Keep in mind that Honda-Tech does not endorse "Stretched" tire setups, and threads regarding the implementation of them will be removed.

15x8's will require body work, if you plan on running a safe tire size.

I can guarantee you that the car was running a combination of rolled/flared wheel arches, extreme camber (at an unsafe level), and unsafe tire stretching. As I stated before, Honda-Tech does not condone unsafe tire sizes. Looks have almost nothing to do with safety.

PS. Unless you're in Japan or have imported the car, it's an EH2 or EH3.

Honestly what is your need for 12" wide tires? that would look retarded unless your throwing slicks on all 4's and tracking it, even then 12" wide is overkill.

12" is too wide for even a 275/35-15...

What non-existent tire size were you planning on using?

This thread has gone on long enough. Either this is just another troll attempting to disturb the commonwealth, or its someone who doesn't have a grasp on wheel sizing yet.
