That wide with that offset and you will have problems. You will nuke your inner fenders and most likely your trailing arms and such....

Isn't 4-100 the standard offset for our generation?

4x100 is not offset. its lug pattern.

yeah the offset for these wheels is -27...you're looking for something around +40?(i think)...

Why 15x8's?

Get either 15x6.5 or 15x7 with a 38 or 41 offset. Anything else just looks ridiculous IMO.

go check out my build thread, i have the set made to fit hondas....dont even try the 15x8's

dispocrx

will be dumped when i get new coilovers

Those are MUCH too wide. Get 15x6 or 15x6.5 wheels, and put 195/50-15 tires on them. If you're looking for the best performance, get the stickiest tires you can. In 195/50-15, that means Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R or Toyo R1R.

Remember to make your decisions in the proper sequence, too. You're messing yourself up by choosing a wheel width before your tire size, which is backwards. You need to follow the sequence of steps outlined in the FAQ topic stickied at the top of this forum:

I want to buy wheels. How should I decide what size to get?

You need to make your decisions in the following sequence:

1. Decide on a wheel diameter (15", 16", 17", etc) based on looks, performance, availability, tire availability, etc.

2. Decide on what tire size(s) work best with that wheel diameter on your car. For street use, this is normally the tire size that has the same outer diameter as your stock tires, and is no more than 10-20 mm wider than your stock tire size. See the Tire FAQ below for recommended sizes for the most popular Honda/Acura models.

3. Decide on which tire make/model you want to get, based on what's available in those size(s), and on what your needs are (performance, weather conditions, usage, budget, etc). Again, see the Tire FAQ below for questions to consider when finding the best tire for your needs. Feel free to create a topic on the forum to ask for advice.

4. Look up the specs for approved rim widths to help you determine the rim width for that model and size of tire. You can find the specs on the tire manufacturer's website or on the website of tire dealers like the Tire Rack. You should keep the rim width within the range of approved rim widths. You may want to pick a width in the middle of the range; the one at the widest end of the range may make the tire look a bit "stretched", and at the narrowest end may make the tire look "bulging". But anywhere in the range should be okay for safety purposes.

5. Find out the best offset for your wheels and tires, based on the rim width and your car. There's no magic formula; you may have to ask those who have tried different rims. Remember that offset depends on the wheel width, so a given number for a wheel of one width may position the wheel the same as a different number for a wheel of a different width. You can convert offsets to adjust for differences in width using this wheel offset calculator.

6. Then you can find out which wheels come in the rim, width, and offset you need, as well as the bolt pattern and center bore your car's hubs require.</TD></TR></TABLE>

You're trying to start with step 4, which is why you're talking about wheels that are too wide for your car. You need to consider steps 1 through 3 first.
