Default GN+ and Drop. Need recommendations.

I want to go 5zigen GN+ 17s on my 01 and I need recommendations on offset and tire measurements. I plan on dropping the car with S. Techs or something similar to a 1" drop.

What's a good negative offset? I want the wheels to stick stand out slightly more than stock.

What size tires are good? I want a balance between low profile and rim protection. I also want to stay staggered.


I'd like to avoid any rubbing and fender rolling as well. I made a terrible mistake of not asking or doing any research for my 99 prelude and destroyed my fenders driving it.

7.5" +48 front, 215/45 or 225/45 tire
8.5" +48 rear, 245/40 or 255/40 tire

That will be close to rubbing, especially with the 225/255 tire combo and lowered ride height. Negative camber will give you a little more clearance. Those are the highest offsets available, really your only choice.

without fender mods you should run these sizes.

That actually looks really good imo. Thanks guys.

Generally whats the cost of getting fenders rolled? I may do it if it opens up a butt load of other options.
