I guess I'm just hating on the kid because his parents bought him an S...

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

wait. So you know how camber and offset work, but your planning to run -4, -5 camber? thats not gonna work very well... specially when it rains. I sure hope you do zero toe...cause you will rape tires with that camber.

Much better choice on wheels. The fit isn't that aggressive, there will be no need to run that much negative camber if you roll the fenders. UK spec will be fine, -1 camber front and -2 rear. As for tires, I would urge you to reconsider. OEM AP2 tire sizes will probably be your best option (215/45, 245/40). It will give you a slight stretch that you seem to want while still being a performance upgrade to AP1 sizes.
