Will 17x8 rims w/ a +38mm offset fit 93 coupe..

[rodney500hp]

with no issues? Im new to the rim scene with Hondas. I just purchased a 93 SE accord coupe in GREAT condition. And I'm looking to put a set rims on it. Nothing serious. I have a set of coilovers not installed yet. So I was wondering if the 17x8 wheels with a +38mm offset running 215/40 rubber will be ok without rubbing. Thanks in advance

Yes.

So there would be no need to have the fendors rolled? I was in the wheel section of the forum but wasnt able to post anything because I'm new a guess. Im not an expert on the wheel upgrade to these cars. So will there be a need to buy spacers? Or I should be able to just get the wheels. Mount them, and then ride off into the sunset.

Best bet, go mount the wheels to one side of the car if you can and see how they fit.

I had 8th gen Civic Sis on my CB and it rubbed all the time. They were 17x7s on 215/45s. Other people have run those wheels w/no issues. So it depends on your suspension too. Only way to know for sure is to try them yourself.

I appreciate the knowledge.. The only reason I'm asking is because I havent purchased them yet. I'm ordering them offline. Ebay to be exact. And the description says the wheels will fit. But after reading the conversations on the wheel section. I second just buying the rims not knowing if they will properly fit.. Again, I have a set of coilover not installed yet on the car. But when I do install them. I dont plan to slam the car. Only a inch or so. Whaterver it takes to get that perfect stance.

I've run 17x7.5 wheels with a +38 offset and a 2" drop with no issues. The extra half inch may make a difference, but I can't say for sure.
I ran 205/40/17 tires. An aspect ratio of 45 would've been a better fit (and it would have saved my wheels from damage.) I did install some 215/45/17 tires later on, but I didn't run them on the CB.

You will rub just a little depending on your tire/suspension set-up. The rubbing will be very minor and barely noticeable.

I'm on Acura TL 17 x 8 rims with a +45. I rub a little, but the subtracted 7mm will put your rim further from the inner wheel well (you may hit the fender). I have stretched tires with minimal negative camber, so that information may help some. Also, I only rub in the front on the inner well. Much luck.

A little off topic, but you're positive the TL wheels are 8" wide? I've been searching for a simple wheel that's wide enough to run a 245 or 255 tire. Can you elaborate which model/year?
