well if he shipped you different wheels than you paid for id send them back. especially +51 offset WOW. your bolt pattern will be 4x114.3 if you didnt know already.

they will be UBER sunken in. your stock wheels have an offset of 40. the higher the offset, the more sunken in they will be.

those arent honda wheels, honda wheels are somewhere around +40. those are... something else.

send them back. they wont even fit on the car. (or maybe just barely fit, and look like ****)

plus an extra inch, so its actually 23mm closer to the strut.

clearance shouldnt really be a problem, it will just look retarded.

i just looked at the wheels...my mistake ..the 16s are the +51..if i were to use the wheels those would go up front..can i use a small wheel spacer to make it look a lil better...what u think,cause i really dont wanna send these things back
