yeah, cutting out the stock fenders almost completely and putting in overfenders...say goodbye to your resale value.

Keep the "gay" wheels on the car for now. The ones you want to put on are a terrible option, even the tires will look horrible with that stretch but that's jmo. Yet again, if you do it post pics.

Just paint the prelude wheels if you cant live without changing something.

Maybe you can have the first Tejano S2K!

actually me and my dad built a fresh teg when i was in 10th and 11th grade and i ended up trading it for the S so... (oh and i know alot about camber, offset, and wheel fitment becasue some of the comments sounded like you didint think i know anything)


and thanks everybody for your input bad/good. After hours of researching and playing with the setup, i came to the conclusion that i would need spacers( was trying to avoid by getting 0 offset), pull and roll the fender (planed on it anyways), and run about -5 degrees of camber. So all in all a big fail on my part. I ended up sending wheels back. Got my $330 back. Found a buyer for the prelude wheels (powder coated black with brand new tires) for $500. And ordered a set of Polished RPF1s. F:17x8 +45 R: 17x9 +45. hopefully this will still give me an aggressive look with about -3 to 4 degrees of camber in the back with little fender work (roll only. Still running the 215/40 tire setup just because i like that look. PICS in a few weeks hopefully

Much better choice. If you are not slammed you wont need to do all the work for a +45 especially with that much stretch on the rear tire.
