Would +15 offset fit stock da9

[Chriskoss]

Hey guys I wanna buy some sportmax's
15x8 +15
Just wondering if the +15 offset would fit.. I heard it wouldnt fit on early model civics but what about early model integras (I have 1992 da9)
thanks

You need to take into account both width and offset.

15x8 +15 vs 15x6 +45

Immediately you can see the 8" wheel will sit 30mm further out from the offset alone. Then you have another 25mm from the width for a total of 55mm more on the outside and -5mm on the inside (i.e. more inner clearance).

I doubt you could fit them without guard modifications but there's only one way to find out. I've seen some pics of these rims on DA9's (search sportmax 501 on g2ic) and they look pretty horrific. "Mexican fitment" is the phrase that springs to mind.

with the right camber, tyres, and guard rolling ui would say yes

that is far from "mexican" fitment

Not the one I was thinking of, but sums it up perfectly. Some people like the look, sure, but back to reality, you couldn't drive that thing anywhere.

If you like shiny things then the only real question is, do I have the same bolt pattern?

[Lukey]

why couldnt you drive it anywhere??

id like to know why you say that

Yea I think people are thinking of those da9's with sportmax's with the 0 offset.. these are of a moderate offset so I guess Ill just have to go and see if they owner whos selling them will let me try them on 1st
thanks all for the inputs
