I’ve been offered some 15x8s and I just want to know if they will fit under the guards of an EK Honda Civic without modifying the guards?

15 X 7 are the maximum that you can do, but i will still rub the guards if you go over bump or turn the steer too much, maybe you can try to get rims with offset which is less than 43mm

What sort of offset are on the wheels. If they are very high then it might work?

offset ofcourse plays a huge role in rim width - DONT forget the actual profile and width of rubber you will run on ur new rims too !

I have 15x7 rims , and i had 205x50 rubber before - car would rub up hill , mid corner and BAD during parking etc. IMO x7 is the max size for FWD vehicles.

Yea if they were on a turtle matt, they should fit your car.

Now could be the time for some gangsta guard flaring? ;)
