Thanks for sharing. I was looking for those specs (same car on tanabe) about a year ago, but had no luck. I've ended up with 19"..., but now it sounds like a good opportunity to shop for new shoes! I hope there is no rubbing with that offset...

there is no rubbing with my setup. in fact, my offsets were selected so that i would not have to worry about rubbing issues. now that i've done the homework for you, it should be a piece of cake for you! time to rep for the 450h bro!

I'm glad you had someone to help you with this perfect setup. You've accomplished exactly what I was looking for at that time. Unfortunately, I had to deal with local ripoff wheel shops, because I had no guts to buy wheels online... Thanks to your well done homework my next purchase should be right on the money!

no problem bro! as long as you have the same wheel size, offset, and tire size that I have, you should have no problems.

i'm not sure about US smog check laws, but up here in canada we still need to do Air Care (emissions) testing. as long as you have a gasoline engine, emissions testing is mandatory. smog check laws down in the US should be the same or similar.
