Kosei 14x6 38mm offset and 205/60/14?

I really want lightweight Kosei wheels. I want the Kosei 14x6 38mm offset and 9.3LB. I want to put Yoko ES100 205/60/14 tires on these wheels, but I am concerned about the rubbing.

My 2001 Civic Sedan LX has Tein coilovers with 1.5finger gap in front and rear. My stock tires 185/70/14 are not wide and not in line with the fender so if I get 205/60/14 on 38mm offset, the tires be will in line with the fender so is it going to rub if I have passengers in the back or if I hit a bump or something.

Anybody with a same or similar setup? Any opinions are appreaciated.

Thanks.

too small of a rim. why replace a 14" rim with another 14" rim. go for a 15 at the least.

i concur on getting larger diameter wheels. i personally have the Kosei K-1 Racing rims in 15''. i dont think the 15'' would be that much heavier than 14''.

There's little sense in putting a tire that fat on a rim that narrow. all the flub will be a pain.
Go for the 15x7, which is all of maybe 11 lbs, and gives you infinite tire options.
