Default 8" rim on 94 civic

Hi,

I'm looking to get new rims for my civic, and I wanna get an 8" wide rim. I'd like them to fit inside my fenders, without having to roll them. Is this possible? And what offset would I need to fit them in? And would they hit the suspension?

Eventually I would get spacers to push the rims out and roll my fenders, but would it be possible to fit them in without that for now?
Thanks to anyone that responds. . .

with an 8inch wide wheel id go +15ish offset, and yes your gonna need to roll your fenders, and you will prob need a camber kit and need a small stretch on the tires. pm bwell, he is the wheel guru

bottom line is your going to need more than wheels to pull off a good looking 15x8 on an eg civic. its not cheap to get a good looking/functioning stance. ive given you all the info i can, you need to

That pic looks really sweet. . . and those are the exact rims I eventually wanna get!
I don't really have the time or cash right now. . . and it sounds like from my research and your input it would take some work. I'll just go with a 15x7.
Eventually I guess. . . I'll get to that point.
Thanks man.

even with a 15x7 you will prob need some fender roll and suspension work. at least to get a good stance. just pm bwell

Ok so what offset would you suggest? And what exactly do you mean by aggressive?
(srry I don't know a whole lot on the subject).
