Help please

Just got an email from Japan in regards to your rims
Unfortunately the 18" Mugen rims for your vehicle has been discontinued
The only next available 18" rim is at an offset of +55 and I do not have a
100% answer whether this will fit or not
and to order this one, Mugen has a delivery date of 50days!
So it seems like we might not be able to supply you the rims
Let me know whether you would want to go with the other items though
SOrry for the bad news but we can not help you on this one
Best Regards
BPT

WTF! So +55 offset, will that fit?

+55 offset will fit, The Honda Euro-R OEM wheels are 17x7 +55 offset.
The Mugen rims will fit.

He will get .25" in & out comparing to the stock wheel. There is plenty of back spacing on the suspension side.

Will make the car look a little more stout. They won't be as recessed in the fender.

wider wheels = wider tires = more contact with the road (which is a good thing) in the expense of more weight
