    The closer the number is to 0 that is when you will have caliper clearance issues.

    I think you may be confused on that.

    Or we are understanding diff matters of this topic.
    actually 55 means its going to be more sucked in so spacers would be needed, the closer to 0 the lower the offset = the further out they will sit, thats why you see flush people with 15, 0 offsets etc

    i used to have an em2 and people put fit wheels on those cars, fit offset is 55 and they are very sunken in...stock is 42 offset so they sit further out

    yes..."sunken" in... even if they fit, they're 15mm deeper in the wheel well....wtf did I buy?

    I'm not sure they'll fit my wife's accord either...that 55 is a bitch!

    Worse comes to worse....I put them on craigslist and sell for as close to what I paid as possible and move on ... lesson learned.

    We'll see when they arrive this week :)

    Aha!

    I didn't realize our OEM wheels are 6.5" not 7"

    I will lose 16mm of space at back of wheel... I think I have more than 16mm! that's about as wide as my pinky! And the wheels will set back 4mm from OEM.. I don't think anyone but a robot would notice the difference!

    they're on! they fit!

    I didn't realize how much the camber in the rear tilts in when you put the wheels off the ground. I almost thought they would not fit. But I put them on and went for a drive..they don't rub and seem to work just fine!!

    Looking good better than the photochop lol.

    As I figured they were gonna go on with no issues, 95% of honda wheels will fit with each other.

    thanks! I'm still adjusting to them....yeah i took a spin and drove hard, cornered hard...no worries...that rear camber just straightens right out, but on the jack...the tires hit the rear strut tower...weird...

    Funny thing, they look sorta similar to my old ones, but bigger.... My wife didn't even know I put them on...HA!

    I'm not one for drops... never cared for them too much...but I also don't want the 4X4 look either!
