    Rubbing = no prob. That's what fender rollers are for

    (and/or baseball bats and heat guns if you don't have a roller).

    The suspension should be adequate as well, to keep any rubbing from happening.

    Look at the bright side... the smaller tires give you a better mechanical advantage when accelerating!

    They look fantabulous, Imola's are classics! Much better than your old ones. They were the first set of rims I wanted after seing them in the french movie "Taxi", never did buy them though lol.
    But I think your car would look a lot better if you get that front bumper painted already

    Re: Check out my new nikes!

    yes, those are the shit. i love the multispoke wheels on our cars. you should get some center caps though. maybe you can do what i did. i used center caps from my old 13's and made the prongs spread out to fit the center hole of my 17's.

    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    Re: Check out my new nikes!

    Imolas look good. I picked out a set for a friends Toyota back in 1998-99.

    I have a bone to pick wih you legend! Stop waiting to paint the whole car and spend the 150-175 to paint that font bumper!

    I like the way the stock color of your hatch goes with the slightly darker color MSW's.

    If you saw the roof of the car, you would understand why the bumper doesnt matter .

    I think the color is perfect, and it keeps me off the PoPo radar.
