You've been given legit answers by people who know. From here the decision is yours. One thing though... if you decide to do this, PLEASE post back here with pictures when you're done.

You have two issues,
1. you have to provide more clearance for the calipers. you could accomplish this with wheel spacers. BUT>>>
2. once you put a big enough spacer in then tires will rub on the fenders, basically destroying them.

So, you save yourself alot of pain, sell them and get the correct offset wheels when you have the cash...

Those look like truck wheels which explains why you have caliper clearance issues and a 0 offset. Since you have both an offset and a spoke/caliper clearance problem, wouldn't be worth the hassle even if they were nice wheels. Get a proper set of wheels, even stock AP1 would be superior to what you have now and are trying to make fit.

My new setup is 16x8 +30 and had to roll and pull the fenders front & rear to make them fit. If your caliper is hitting the spokes of the wheels you will need wheel spacers, which will lower your offset. If the offset of those wheels is 0, they won't fit. Not a chance in hell. Not with stock bodywork, at least.

Sell them and get some wheels that fit.

If you wana put them on.. you need to do a lot of work.

1. Get Wheel Spacers (probley 00)
2. roll rear and front fenders (BEAST FENDER ROLL)
3. get a camber kit cause you WILL need it for the 0 offset
4. you will problay have to take out the fender liners for clearance
5. get a beast alignment

And if your dropped.. i dont think they will fit with out some secret tricks

heres some research.

1) sell prelude rims & tire set for ~150-200.
2) sell other set of rims you have for ~???100ish? possibly? With tires, so hopefully 150 or so

3) buy a set of AP1 rims (slight curbs will drop the price like crazy...) for 300.
