Fits like a glove
IMHO the V2 is the least hot looking OEM rim for our cars but in your case it looks quite a lot better than usual thanks to the fitment! Looks like you have a slight drop too which helps a bunch. Do I have to run spacers with extended studs if I choose 15mm?

Ap2 v1 has more caliper clearance (supposedly) than v2; you should be fine. You will have to roll fenders, and possibly tab relocate the rear- depending on tire sizing.

Yeah everyone has their tastes, I personally like the V3’s The most, then the V2’s. I don’t like any other OEM wheel. If you are going to run a 15 you need to run a DRM spacer, the best thing about a 15 is it doesn’t require any role or tab relocation at all. I would like to run aftermarket wheels but I hate how crappy the fender and fender liner issues with aftermarket wheels make the car look. I see guys with $4000 wheels but chipped fenders and missing liners, then the car just looks like a cheap car with expensive wheels.

OK glad to hear this. I think 15mm is the widest I'd go to save my fenders from modding. As for tire sizing I'm currently on Toyo Proxes T1 Sport - 225/45/17 and 245/40/17. Next change I'll widen the read to 255.

True. I like the V3's almost as much as I do the V2's. I love the specific aftermarket wheels that appeal to me, RPF1, TE37, CE28, TC105N, Advan RGII, Meister S1, and several others. Money is an issue unfortunately and then again, the OEM wheels Honda made look fantastic! Especially the V1 and V3. I also really like the original AP1 5 spoke wheels and the 6 spoke BBS but they don't look as hot as the AP2 versions granted they are smaller. If the AP1 5 spoke wheel was 17" it would be pretty damn hot!

Thanks for the advice. I'll stick to 15mm max. DRM spacer?
