Just gonna be brutally honest: I hate 'em, and those tires look way too small.

But, if you like 'em, that's your choice, and I'm happy you found something you like.

Tires could use a little more meat, but I think it works! Nice.

The wheels are nice, the car looks great! but the wheels are not my style, but then, I'm an old man - lol!

The only thing that's important, do you really like them? If you do, than that's all that matters, IMO. - BC

The tires could use some beefing up. Are those 6.5 or 7 inch wide? You could tuck a good 8.5 to 9 inch wheel in them wheel wells with a good 38-40 degree offset.

7 inches wide I got them because I couldn't pass up the deal but once these tires wear out I'm going to buy a thicker profile tire and I just ordered some lowering springs to drop the car 1.5" front and back

What do you by "degrees of offset"?
A high offset will drive the wheels more in, a lower offset will drive the wheels out....
seen the "hella flush" civics and such? Thats a low offset, at like 0 6 or 12 depending on wheel width and backspacing.
Plain Jane fwd's usually run a higher offset, like 32 38 44 depending on the backspace and wheel width.
