The car has a massive rolling in the rear so I think 15X8 will work.

Whats the lightest 15in wheel out there? I know konig heliums were light as hell but cracked.

Spoon Slipstream looking things (SW388 or something) are like 8lbs.

I was thinking a 15X8 or max a 16, give me a hint.
im runing with 16X7 and runs good even with ZC stock engine, even when i finally get it boosted those wheels will be OK

I found that ROTA makes the slipstream up to 15X8 problem is the offset. What would the optimal offset be for a honda with wide wheels?

The offerings are:

15X8

+20
+35
+=40
+42

I was also thinking of a staggerd fitmanet to fill the massive roll in the rear fender? GO/NO-GO for an FF car?
