Wheel fitment question (possible majob rubbing?)

Hey folks!

I currently run the TL 5 Spoke wheels which are 17x8+45, i want to switch to 17x8+35 lightweight wheels, and keep using 225/45/17 tires. I am already lowered running about 1 finger gap front. Would it fit and not rub much without pulling / stretching fenders?

Thanks!!

You are just moving the wheel 10mm out further than the TLs. You may have to roll, but that would be it

Looking at some some 18x8 +32
Only dropped 1.5"
Fenders are rolled and front fender lining is partially cut

Will this fit without any issues?
Would it look decent with this small of a drop or would it look silly?

Thanks!

I did a test run, it seems to rub along the fender liner more than I would like , but mine is a jobber one with horrible fit.. I marked some spots that were troublesome and will check them to make sure its only those parts that rubbed. Will post pictures soon to give an idea!!

Here we go, 17x8 +35, 10mm rear spacers, 225/45/17 Falken FK510

Rubbing on fender liner where it doesnt fit right so no biggie

Looks good. A +40 in front would have gotten you off the outer fender lip (that slight poke). I've got the same deal going with my +38 offset. I really like how the rear looks with the 10mm spacer added. :)

Ok guys I have a 01' Accord Sedan all stock with 4x114.3 stock wheels and I have never owned an aftermarket set of wheels, so you could say I am a virgin.
I bought this car with 68,000 miles on it from a old lady who never drove it and there is some body damage cause she wasn't a very good driver and the wheels are in really rough shape. I have been looking for stock replacement wheels and can't find any.
So my question is what dimension wheels including offset (which I know nothing about) can I put on this car. There are currently 15" wheels on it now. Can I bump up to a 16 or 17" wheel without any issues?
I am basically looking for something I can buy and put on this car without adding spacers or rolling fenders (whatever that is)

Thank You guys
