Hondas with negative offset
Ok so i found a wheel that i really want to get, only problem is with a 15x8 they can only do a 4 inch backspace, which equates to just over -12 offset. My question is, and i have been searcchiinnggg, with no genuine results, on a DC2 (94 - 01) integra how possible, or impossible is it to run this 8 inch wide wheel, with stretched tires, with a -13 offset, possible? proof? pics? help?
S.N. I expect there to be some implied camber...

Well im keeping my old wheels so when handling becomes a necessary subject, i can switch them, and in the aspect of it being considered looking bad, thats all within a personal opinion, looking for some legit data here please.

Back when I was in high school the import crowd and the low rider crowd hasn't split yet. So you'd see Civics with crazy reverse offset wheels.
Anyway a guy in my auto shop class had one and we put two sets of wheel bearings in his car during one semester. It was crazy how much those wheels would chew up the outer bearing.

Yeah rolling the fender is already a know thing that will have to be done,i didnt know if pulling was going to required if i apply camber, maybe what im looking for is maybe some possible horror stories of a negative offset that bad? Or maybe pictures, and maybe how bad would the camber have to be?

Legit data; it's going to eat the fuck out of your wheel bearings.
