suggestion?
I have been toying with similar wheel fitment issues and came to a conclusion; Do the ITR 5 lug conversion, the wheel selection is astounding!
For those of you that dont know you get 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 11" front brakes (does limit you to wheels 15" or bigger), Disc rears and 5mm increase your original offset.
I was able to do my setup for $600 (Canadian so probably cheaper state side) with new rotors pads and ball joints. It took some time to source stuff out but with some resourcefulness (craigslist and kijiji) and some time at local wreckers it can be done for cheap.
I opted to extend my lugs right off the bat to accommodate spacers.
if you want a break down of parts required let me know.
Anyways i have to say i like where your project is going. some may not like the "mexi-poke" but to each there own.
if you ask most people who pass cars like ours on the highways they'd probably bash it too for the lack of practicality but that's just the nature of the beast. imo more camber all around would look sick and maybe pull the fenders some more instead of flares (imo flares dont suit honda body lines)
Good Luck! and keep calm and carry on!
