    Will the wheel rub because of the 0 offset?

    So I was thinking of getting gunmetal 16x8 XXR-513's with an offset of 0 for my 92 CB7 EX sedan...
    But the thing is will the wheel start rubbing a bit? and what size tires would go good with the wheels?

    Thank you in advance

    Yes, it will rub, unless you run an extreme degree of negative camber. And that will destroy your tires very quickly.

      Tire size depends on how low you want to go, if you want to stretch a tire, or if you want a meaty tire on there. What's your ride height going to be?

        well I'm not going to camber out the wheels I'm just gonna keep it factory...
        So what would be the best offset to put on my CB7?
        Will 16x7 with an offset of 15 work?

          I was thinking of dropping it about 1"-1.5" from factory ride height...I'm not slamming it either don't want the hellaflush look I just want it to look simple just like the 5th gen accord you have nice and simple....

            I'm no advocate of negative camber but if you are going with 0 offset and running no negative camber you are going to look like an asshole. Thats the whole point of the low offset on front wheel drive cars thing.

              My wheels are 16x8 +15 I have a spacer in the rear putting them at +9. I'm lowered a lot more than the 1-1.5 you're going to look for... In my opinion if you're going to have wider wheels or lower offset wheels and not going to be low enough to tuck them in it will look goofy, but if that's what you want go for it. My tire size is a 205/40 which doesn't rub... but it's not reccomended for an 8 inch wide rim either. Hopefully someone else has some more information for you.

                If you want it to fit properly, run an offset near stock. +38-+42.

                  @N9netwoAccord Ohh I see where or what website did you get your wheels from?.. I can drop it more than the 1"-1.5"... whats the ride height on your 5th gen? what size spacers are you using?

                  @deevergote I guess I have no choice...but what if I use a 16x7 with an offset of 15 will that still rub cause I was looking around in the forum and found this thread http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=175653 and the guy has 16x8 with an offset of 0 on his CB7 coupe and I don't see anything wrong but I do see that it has a bit of camber on the rear and the front

                    Do I need to repeat myself?

                      I got my wheels from a local vendor here. I have 6mm spacers. You should've been able to figure that out with the info I gave you before. I think you should read a little more on wheel width, offsets before you go with a lower offset wheel.

                          Yeah seriously. 15 minus 9, can't be that hard.

                          Thats a good idea because no offense but it doesn't sound like you don't have enough knowledge on any of this to make a proper decision IMO. From what I gather, you've read around and seen offsets and rims sizes and you don't really understand what any of it means. You have to have some sense of what offset vs rims size vs tire size vs lowering suspension vs camber correction... All that comes into play and works with and/or against eachother for each individual application.
