15x7 on a lowered 6th gen

[hkt03]

i'm getting ready to buy a set of 15x7 (choice of +38mm offset or 45mm offset) kosei k1s w/ 195/50 tires (are these the correct tires and which offset do i choose?)

i was told i should be fine, but i just want to double check. i shouldn't rub or anything right? i'm waiting on my coilovers to come in and i dont plan on tuckin tire, but drop low enough to eliminate the wheel gap.

this is all going on a '00 civic ex coupe.

tire size will be fine

are far as the offset, its up to u i believe....the more ofset, the more they "stick out"

and if you're not going to tuck tire you wont rub.

come on erick go for tuckage! drop it like its hot like my coupe!

MMMMMM Koseis.

smaller the offset number the more the stick out on a front wheel drive

195 is just fine, but i'd go 205.

195 is just fine, but i'd go 205.

Would the 205....tires cause me to have to remove my inner fenders or rub at all?

i recommend 205 since the wheels are 7 inch wide. 195 on 7 inch wheels dont look that good plus the weight rating of 195/50 is below stock rating.

 

[hkt03]

yeah.. already been told to go with 205, waiting on a few people and i'll order.

thanks for the help guys..

+38 might be too big of an offset, i think you would be better off with the +45's. the 35's might rub in corners or sit outside your fenders.
