255's shouldn't be a problem. my summer tires are 255/45/17 and they fit nicely with the lowering springs. any larger though and you will definitely need to do some convincing of the fenders.

Your more then welcome to do whatever you want to your own car.
You have a nice set of wheels there! I'm not sure what you think a different offset is going to give you in looks? Can you give us your thoughts on what you are going for? Are you looking for a more concave look with a bigger lip? In addition, Seems you are building a nice X with your mod list, is this a show car? If so, it will go too!

Basically I am just enjoying the car and modding it to my liking based on performance first. I just want a more flush look with the wheels.. thats all
The wheels are just for looks, along with the springs...I didnt go with the full coilover setup because I felt it was unnessisary for what I do with the car.
As far as shows go I might put it in a few just for fun but thats about it.
Thanks for the comments.

Well actually its the fronts that are really a *****. It's because the lip is so small to begin with that its hard to bend it without bending the alluminum fenders. Also, i'll assume you understand you will need a heat gun also? I have one if you need to borrow it!
So what size tire are you plan on running? There are more issue you will run into then just the lip if your going big. Like the seams and the bolt to hold on the rear bumper. I had to cut off some of the tab for the rear bumper to make my wheels work. Now i am running 285's so it might not be a big deal if your going to run a 265

Just checked my car after getting the touchless wash last night at Rapid Wash on South Park Road. Looks much better, but I can see a few spots where there is a thin white film left by the wash (came off with a cloth). Not perfect, but does the job in the winter. It also didn't seem to do much to clean the wing. I may need to get the CF touched up on that soon.

when i did drive it , it was pretty good....but i havent driven it much since then....i figure i might as well let the honda take all of the winter abuse...

I am mostly just going for a car I can take out on the weekends and have a little bit of fun with..I do not race this car in autocross etc... The only track it sees is the strip on occasion, but I have only had it there one time so far.
