this maybe better in the wheels and tire section.

Curious if youd have rubbing issues with the 45 offset 8" wide wheels....

+35 will be close to flush with an 8 inch wheel, close enough if your scared of rubbing your fender

seems like it will work but there is a good chance you'll need spacers. Only way to know for sure is to either measure or wait for someone who has the excat size wheels on their car to chime in.

2nd 7's are for Civics, if your going to spend the money to upgrade go with 8s or larger. I would go with a 8.5 +40 all around, and run a 10mm spacer in the rear.
