Wheel idea, help please?

So I have 4 BBS RS' that are for sale I found, and I was wondering how everyone feels about the fitment or if it's too much for the 01-03 civic coupe?

There are two wheels, two are 16x8 +30 offset (possible front two wheels?) and the other two are 16x9 with a +41 offset (possible back wheels?).

Let me know what you guys think!

Re: Wheel idea, help please?

they will work but it depends on how low you are, how much camber you want to run, and if you want to roll your fenders and/or pull them. I say pick them up see if they fit or how much work it will take to make them fit and go from there.

Alright cool, yeah im planning on having a pair of those on my 7th gen, im in love with the wheels.. So basically anything i need to do as far as camber, lowness, and fenders go i would do i guess. Do you really think i might need to pull my fenders?

Alright cool, I was gonna say... Yeah with all the cash from today im probably gonna invest! Btw, when the lug pattern is 5x114.3, is there a conversion for that you can just hook on to the 4 lugs?

Re: Wheel idea, help please?

The thinnest I've ever seen adapters are 15mm, so that turns the off-sets to +15mm and +26mm for around $200. The alternative would be an RSX 5 lug conversion, which has the advantage of better brakes and rear disks, but would cost $400-500.

I'd probably go with the 200 dollar choice, rsx 5 lug isn't worth all the hassle... By the way Mindbomber, I got a set of rs'!! just over 700 bucks, shipped to my door. that website rules.
