yea i think these are about the same as stock , the tires on the stock make up for the weight on these...these tires are 205/35/18 and the stocks were 205/65/15... and they are konigs so they are quality

bleh that would be to much black.

leave them, if anything i would try to lower the front a hair and it would look good. maybe a tire with a bit more sidewall to avoid the rubber band look.

That's the difference between FLUSH offsets and MAKING NICE wheels fit.

Sometimes you're gonna have to work your fenders, and work your alignment settings to make wheels fit.

If you want FLUSH wheels, and don't want to roll your fenders, then you're talking FLUSH TIRES, not wheels.

offsets for me go anywhere for an

8" wide wheel:

-15 -> +0

9" wide wheel

+0 -> 20

Anything higher than those specified offsets I'll use a spacer or won't waste my time.

HIGH OFFSET FRONT WHEEL DUMPSTER SPEC Sportmax's need spacers, if you're not using gay shock and spring combo.

the honda groups around georgia are all about the 14's and 15's , and not even aftermarket...oem painted shit...
