Motegi FF7s

Will these Motegi FF7's fit properly on my car? I know the offset is the bare minimal for 7" rims, but will I have any rubbing issues riding on stock height/springs and stock 205/60/16 tires?

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - Will they stick out (looking ugly like 3rd gen TL wheels on a 2nd gen)?

Rim Diameter (in): 16 in.
Rim Width (in): 7.00 in.
Backspacing (in): 5.500 in.
Offset (mm): +42.00mm

Save your $$$. Unless you're getting super-lightweight rims ... don't bother with aftermarket 16s. Maybe over at TAC someone with an Accord can sell you theirs cheap.

Why they don't fit? I don't get it? They have 42+ offset.

I have new all seasons tires and I need 16" rims, I just don't want to get ugly steelies. And superlight rims cost way too much.

Stock rim offset is +55. The rims you're looking at (16x7" +42 offset) will fit provided you don't slam your car. So you're buying 16" rims to use the new tires you have? If you're buying aftermarket rims, why don't you go bigger and sell your tires? FastFreddy on TAC is selling his 17" tires ... get those for 17" rims.

yes it will but the change will be so miniscule that it'd be negligable. Upsize those rims!!
