Default Spacing and Offset Issue.

Hey all I'm looking for some help on this certain issue i am not to sure on.

I have a 1990 integra and I'm trying to get my suspension and wheels to fit flush. Right now the rims that are on the car are 15x7 with a + 40offset. Tires are 205/50/15 .

I am trying to get the wheels to look like this. You all must know the look (although i am trying to stay AWAY from lots of negative camber.)




Anyways, my question is what size of spacers would be best to get for my size of rims/tires/offset for the best fitment.? offer And is it recommended to get your ride height all set up with your suspension first before doing this? (Because i have adj struts, and lowering springs but was thinking on getting coils to replace them)

Its nearly impossible to tell from that photo, but I believe those are 15x7 +15 SportMaxx wheels. You should be able to retain your current tire setup for that size, so long as you roll/flare the fenders/quarter panels. You won't be able to run a 25mm spacer without using either extended lug studs or bolt-on adapter plates that have studs in them.

Yeah i was planning on rolling the fenders and getting hub centric wheel spacers.

would it be best to wait until you roll fenders/lower the car to the height you want it before spacing the offset?

If you're just going at it from a perspective of aesthetics, more so than functionality... then yes, it'd be best to get the car at the right height and then you should be able to measure how much room you have to work with.

Well for functionality I would just leave the rims exactly the way they are right?
But the wheels look sunk and I hate the way that looks, I think it gives a much nicer/cleaner look with good wheel fitment, I'm currently on lowering springs, and adjustable struts but am probably going to get a set of coils instead.

Thanks for the help.
