    [nooob question] Wheel question!

    Hey guys i got a set of wheels which are 15" rims with width 15 x 8 with offset of +25 and i was wondering if it goes with 205/50R15 tyres would it "stick" outside the fender? My Civics still on standard ride height with no modifications what so ever and i want to stick to the 1inch width regulation.
    Stock specs are:
    wheels - 14 x 5.5
    tyres - 185/60R14 82H

    thanks

    no it shouldnt. the tyre size shouldnt affect it sticking out too much, as your offset is a bit high it should be perfect within the guards

    Probably have to roll your guards then mate. Nothing too difficult.

    2-2.5" drop w/ 15x8+25 you will get rub from bodyroll, probably even with coilovers, especially if you have a loaded car and going around corners you'll get that lownote hum from fender rub, had it with 17x7.5s, reason why i sold them. Wheels should be fine with low pros, 50s might be a bit too much, 45 should be okay and still give you some ride comfort.

    I drove with that setup daily for a while - 15x8 +25 with 205/50. Stock camber arms. Pretty straightforward, just need a good roll of the fenders.
