I may have heard wrong but I thought 8 wouldnt fill the guards up.

17x8 with an offset of +35 will fit really nicely.
Im planning on running that size and offset with 215/45R17 tires, as I might rub with 225.

Damn. Are you using ESMM on the bottom 2 mounts? My top engine mounts are in good shape since I put the ESMM's into the car shortly after I got it, almost 2 years ago now.

I've read that there can be alot of stress (that could result in cracking) on the Kiddracing header (or any other aftermarket header without flex pipes if we're not running some kind of stiffer engine mount or torque damper to reduce the movement of the engine.

Honda dealers will be able to get them. You have your GB oil and clutch checked yet?
