Yes it will work, but personally it is not a width and offset I would run.

I agree.

Nothing is wrong with Rota's. If you don't have the money for a name brand wheel, or don't want to spend the money, there fine. People hate on them because they are inexpensive, very very common (especially in the Honda world), and there replica's of higher end wheels.
My first set of wheels were Rotas, they looked great IMO, they fit my budget (I was in high school), and I never had one problem with them. Now I'm older and making/saving more money, and I can afford something better. Not to mention if I had a tight budget on wheels, I would be more likely to buy a used set of nice wheels for around the same price and refinish them myself.

There are two factors that account for how far a wheel sticks out, or how sunken in it is. WIDTH and OFFSET.
45 is the same as stock, so the only difference is the width. So because they are a half inch wider, they will stick out a 1/4" further on either side. 1/4" on the outside half of the rim, 1/4" on the inside half of the rim.
Got it?

This is true.
MY RANT...
Here is probably the only thing one needs to determine whether a wheel will fit or not, aside from reading what setups people have used in this thread.
1010 Tires Wheel Offset Calculator
Take the "Inner Clearance" number and the "Outer Position" number and use a RULER AND MEASURE!
I am not directing this to anyone on this page or anyone in particular in this thread. I am more than happy to try and help people with wheel/tire sizing, but when I see people post questions time after time about wheel/tire combo's that have already been done, and may even be on the list on the first page of this post, I will not reply to them anymore. It takes a little while to read through this thread, but I did it and many other people have done it also.
