+37 offset on 18x7.5 wheels

yes, i searched and i didn't get a definite answer. i understand +40-45 is recommended for 18x7.5" wheels but does the 3mm make that big of a difference? will they stick out a little bit? they're on an accord right now and they don't stick out at all..do they have a different offset requirement? im lowered about 2" and they are Racing Hart Type C2's btw...this time i actually found a real set. any help would be appreciated...

You MAY have to roll the fenders a bit, but I doubt it

If you go lower with that kinda offset, you'd have to roll those bitches. But you have some extra clearance in your wheel well to stick out, unless you're dumpin to the earf

thanks man, i'm hoping to tuck tire once i put these wheels on. couldn't i also shave off a few mm's from the hub thus making the offset higher?

You probably could, I wouldn't get too into shaving pieces, unless you're using a CNC or some way to ensure they're all the same. You'd be better off rolling your fender or shaving some of that back imo. I measured with my 5 lug which offset almost an inch and it worked without sticking beyond the fender so i think you'll be ok
