I need some help with my wheels!

Well i just bought some bbs LM knock offs and they are 18x9.5 +48 and guess what? They dont fit my car. It hits my caliper. Is there any spacers i could throw on to make them fit? Or did i F*** big time? help please? Thanks.

I'm sure you mean it hits your caliper. But with that you can buy wheel spacers to space it out and push it away from the caliper more. I'm just not sure how wide of a spacer you need.

LOL You guys mean it hits the caliper. Thats because of the offset. You could measure out how far you'd need and get a spacer chances are though it's still gonna take some fender modding to make them fit right depending again on tire size and ride height

No not alright at all and dangerous. When you get the spacers depending on type you either have to get extended wheel studs or a bolt on spacer with studs on them already like the project kics ones

best bet is to sell the wheels on a honda forum and get a decent set.
