Yeah I read alot of reviews on them and everyone raved about them. Cuz I was guna do the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT but at $130 a tire vs the Nittos @ $90 and a better rating (on that site at least) I figured it would be money in my pocket. But im thinking this may happen after I get my suspension after im done with it.

Quick question. What is our stock offset? And if I get them 40mm off sets can I fit 215's without rubbin? Or add some lil 1mm shims so I could fit them.

Hello?? dont tell me im going to have to figure this out on my own...
And I can role the inner fender if need be, as long as it doesnt rub on the rear strut.

stock offset is 45mm. we can safely run 205 tires with a 40mm offset...which is what most aftermarket wheels are, since hondas are 4x100-40. i have a 42mm offset, and rub VERY little if at all with 215's. the only time i rub is when i have a passenger in back and go over railroad tracks.

hmm.. cuz im thinkin it may be worth it to try and find a 42mm offset or just shimmin it out 2 mm cuz I think 215 would really make it handle better than the 205. And if Im guna do this I may as well do it right but an extra 10mm is ALOT, dang our cars for having the strut so close to the tire with not much room to fit stickies in. :shakesfist:
