so, i have a chance to score some reverse mesh look-a-like 14x7s for dirty cheap. only problem i see, is that they are -3mm offset wheels.
can i even get that to fit, or am i just wasting my time?:?
even if it requires serious fender rolling, i will consider it.

If they're cheap, I'd pick them up even though they're only 14"

You may have to do some fender work to make them fit depending on your height, tire size and camber. :thumb:

Nice find :thumb:

When doing the low offset / negative offset look on a civic, you're usually stuck with stretching the tire to help avoid rubbing. Im not big on tire stretching but I think the stretch looks like less of a stretch on a 15" rim compared to a 14" rim because the 15" will have a lower profile sidewall. Just my opinion... Those rims are a nice find. Also 14" are lighter than 15" :thumb:

only thing i dont like about 14s in the tire selection :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

id love to have some 175/50/14s for a lower profile and slight stretch but they just arent made

im currently tucking 15's, so i would probably either have to roll the fenders, or raise the car up a little

good to know. i've got stock upper control arms all around, never needed to get camber kits before. but im rolling on 15x6 +50, so i can go real low without needing to mess with my camber. :D

If u can get away without camber that's a plus I guess....
My wheels stuck out lik an inch and half....I had to get it....it just didn't look right either....
