Alright, I just purchased some Konig Candy's 15x7.5 with a 30 offset for my EK Hatch. I'm pretty sure I need to roll my fenders, butI'm not 100% Views?

 

yes you will if you are planning on tucking at leat a 205/50-15 tire and/or having at least a 1 finger gap.

you may even need some type of negative camber as well. not too much

 

please post pictures asap im about to buy the same wheels for my ej8

 

Thanks man. I'm pretty positive I won't need any camber, they're not THAT wide, and the offset isn't THAT rediculous. But I figured. And I won't have them on for another month or so...

 

It doesn't matter what width. It would be the tire you need to use and the offset that may cause the rubbing therefore I like to suggest adjusted camber first before rolling the fenders on your vehicle. but you may need both unless you wanna go slammed and rely on natural camber.

You can easily remove the camber arms but I doubt you could easily reverse rolled fenders

 

True, true. I ordered 205/50/15's, and, I'm just barely gunna be tire-tucking. Natural 1 degree camber I'd say, (that's how it is now, not much camber at all).

 

i rub with 205/45/16s on a 16x7 +40....granted i am lowered about 3 inches but this is with about 2.5 degrees camber in the front. i plan on ordering a set of candies as well, but i think im gonna run a 195/50/15 this time around

 

Don't compound your mistake by getting tires that are too small. 205/50-15 has a smaller diameter than your current 205/45-16, so stick with 205/50-15 and you should be fine. You can also go 195/55-15 which is only slightly larger, but narrower, which gives you back some clearance. No need to go with the tiny 195/50-15 on any '97 or later Civic; leave those to the guys with older Civics, CRXs, and del sols.

 

Thanks guys, I mean, either way, of already got my stuff in, just wondering about the issues. I thought about 195's, but I don't wanna stretch that much.

 

I want to see pics when you get these on. Im about to order a set myself.

 

^^just ordered mine about a week ago....30-45 days til theyre in the factory. ill post up pictures as soon as i get mine. they are going on a 2000 coupe though

 

I've got mine right now, at home in my basement They look fresh as can be, now just to wait for winter to pass

 

whenever mine get here, they will have to go on, 4 ft of snow or not....the tires on my stocks look like drag slicks....theyre past the wear bar indicator

 

Haha, that's no good. Mine still got a couple K miles.

 

ordered mine today, i will be running a 195-50-15. will post some pics when they arrive installed.
