Sportmax wheels are junk in my opinion. If you want a dished look, try looking at Spun Supermeshes. They are an affordable, stylish looking wheel, and still functional. I have the 16" ones in blue and polished lip on my EG, and I love them.

0 offset is supposed to be hard on EG's compared to a EK for example.

Reason for that is the way the Guard was designed by Honda (or so I have been told)

My mate managed to do it, He rolled his own guards, used D2 coilovers and Pedders (Aussie manufacturer) camber kit.

There was alot of potential if he had a bigger budget for suspension IMO (Camber Kit + Coilovers)

The Result anyway

of course it will look good if thats the look you want. IMO it will look eh. And with +0 it will be a pain in the ass getting it to fit. Not to mention that your car will handle like poo. +15 will probably be the same situation just slightly easier.

Also you will NEED a stretched tire which i have read is dangerous regardless of what anyone says. I suggest going with something similar to hatch_wanna_b's idea and finding a wheel with a higher offset with some nice dish. IE: Konig RETracks.

So with that being said its your decision but you have been warned

Australia has terrible Roads, especially New South Wales.

I think it was a smart choice of his (Fat Tyres>Replacing tyres+Beads)

There was potential for more tucking but my mate was on a very tight budget.

Sadly his car was stolen not so long ago.


We have seen it driven around but could never catch the bastard driving it (mainly because its being driven around in peak traffic and we cant U-turn in peak traffic over a island)
