Wheel question.

- Thu Jul 07, 2011 2:38 am #262607 Don't kill me, i've looked here and honda tech and haven't been able to find what I need. I have a 95 hatch, wanting to put 16x7 +25 offset on it. Going to lower the front 2", and back 1.5". I know i'll need to roll fenders, anything else I may need to do or plan for?
Thanks for any help.

this goes both ways

if he just wants to lower the car and DD a nice stance then yea camber kits are not needed

but if he plans on tracking the car
i mean alot of tracking, not once a yr
then he should look into some camber kits

but people just buy camber kits so they can get the flush look or the hella flush, so its all on the person

but i have to agree, roll the fenders, and with a 7in wheel you
MIGHT need a spacer, or ur gonna rub on the inside..

but it's a +25 offset 16x7" wheel, so he'll be good on the inside. Outside will rub though. figured you missed the +25 part :wink:

- Fri Jul 08, 2011 3:50 am #262766 it all depends on how much you roll them, how low and stiff your suspension is, how much negative camber you have and your tire width and sidewall size.

- Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:46 am #262899 Thanks for the info, I'll have to figure out a few things then. It'll be a bit before I get the wheels anyway, just wanting to be ready for when I do.

Found those on H-T as well. Not quite what you wanted, but you will get the idea of what it will look like and what you will need to do.
