Offset would be needed to tell you an answer. Tire size would also matter.

Oh thank you now we can actually help (no hard feelings).

They wont fit but you can make them fit. You are not the first person with this setup on our cars so it's been done. Lots of camber and stretched tires will make them "fit". I believe our member Trippy here is currently running that exact set up so look him up.

Not trippy, Miah does. He has -6 degrees of camber on the rear +/-0 front with 195/50. Trippy has 16x8s but they're +15 with 205/45, which fits way better. Try not to go lower then +30-25ish if you're not tryna be toooo herra frush~*

you will need to roll the rear for sure, i have the same set up except with 205/40/16, i feel like my tires sidewall is too small to make it flush and still be my dd. I slammed it to barely cover tire and i cant even go over speedbumps so im gonna raise her b4 doing an alignment.

Yeah, I have the same tire size on 16X8 +10 and its waaay too low for dd lol

What exactly do you see as flush?? Just asking so we can further help you fit some wheels.

my cars as low as you can get an ep, but I want the rim as close to my fender without rubbing, 15s are almost there, so Im think 16s will be Perfect, I have a lot of camber in the back. I don't wanna have to get 15s but I might have to.

ohh i see what you are looking for... why not go to 17's?? And i think offset in your case might be a bigger issue. Depending on the offset and wheel size you get you might need to raise your car a little bit.
Post some pics so we can see what your car looks like.

Here's Amoney's car
he graduated from ephatch but a few of you might know him

http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/hell047poop/?action=view&current=WVL_2946.jpg

hit next and you can go through
he took a few shots that show his fitment quite nicely so you can understand what your ep might look like
I think his tires were 195/40/16

yeah that is also my goal as well, but unfortunatly its too low for me to keep her as my dd, so she sits a tiny bit higher than his, i also have no lips or anything just oem mudguards 1" or so off the ground lol

Yeah I want a similar stance for a little while
I've never experimented with low offsets, and tire stretching
but I actually have these wheels in my garage
but they are wrapped in utter crap
they were originally owned by an s14 driver
whom occasionally goes to Adam's raceway
and does some over steer action.

Haha they have like metal wire/ threading protruding from the tire surface.

I personally don't like the stance of the ep I sent you
I like miah's though

Oh and note, 15's are gonna be the complete opposite of what you need/ want
Our cars are a bit too big for 15's
I was in denial for a while, but after working on some older civics, dc2's and miata's,
I learned that my car can't rock 15's like the smaller car's can

agreed, i liked his particularly cuz its tw and has the same tire size (meaning same fender gap as mine :) ), i think miahs is perfect or maybe slight too much of a sidewall, but 40's is too small im too low to be "hella flush" and be a dd, thats why i raised her and ended up like the pics u provided above i love that lip tho

Anything 8.5" wide +32 looks real flush with stretched tires. That kid with the white xd9s in 17x8.5 +32 has the nicest fitment I've seen without being over the top drifter hella flash status. He only has -2 degrees of camber but has 205/40 stretched on it. Beautiful.

@gamma6, my mudflaps are like a centimeter away, they drag when I turn, but I'll probably get 16x8 and make them work cause they look great!
