16s on CDs look like 17s do on CGs

Our wheel wells are pretty big

I dont think you'd wanna run a 16x8 +20 wheel on an accord. the amount of camber needed to do that would kill your contact patch. I have 17x9 +20 on my accord and I'm running a 215 wide tire. if you did it with a 8 inch wide wheel you'd probably need something like a 165 or 175 for it to stretch right and then you have pretty much no tread on the ground, plus it looks kinda silly. I would look for some different wheels. They're nice looking wheels just not the right size for a CG.

If he doesn't, I will. I just can't find a set of wheels I like that aren't rotas in that offset/spec.

that's what Im sayin! rota's email staff blows too fyi.. they're really dumb... I told em I was looking for sumthin in a 17x8 with a +20/30 offset with a 4x114.3 bolt pattern and if they had ne suggestions or if they could make the grid offroads in an inch bigger for a little more... and they replied back

Hi
We do have in P45 17x9.5 4x100 + 15 offset.

and all i thought was wtf? that's not even close to what I was looking for... lol I didnt email em back cause they have no idea what's goin on... so I think Im gonna get the off road wheels... and if all else fails Im willing to get rid of my suspension to make this happen... I'll change everything I wanted to do to make this happen... lol these hoes are mine... and on a side note blkcurrantkord... go for it man... Im not gonna have that money til income tax and that's a few minutes away so it's all you 1st mang. ;)

Imma get my photoshop skillz on and put these hos on there for us to see what we're runnin into..

I have F2 coilovers that will slam my body to the ground. I believe with the tein ss you will still have a lot of wheel gap but I think there is a solution which something called tein helper springs. Search that

Im not finding ne thing on tein helper springs... really tein makes like a helper spring but i dont think it's what you're talking about... have ne other ideas of what it might be called or where you read about them at?
