Post a pic of it

What is the offset?

get spacers

Spacers

rims: 16x8 0mm offset would put 195/45r16 or 185/45r16 to get strech tire so i get few inch to get closer to my inner fender

picture is a few comments lower

Spacers

We don't even know why they don't fit. I would wait to learn more about the problem before telling him to buy spacers.

Spacers will only be useful if the wheel offset is too high, causing the inside of the wheel to hit control arm / suspension parts, or the inside of the spokes are hitting the caliper.

If the offset is too low, causing the wheel/tire to rub the edge of the fender, then he's going to have to do fender work, add negative camber or get a lower profile / skinnier stretched tire.


edit: you just posted the offset as I was typing this post. 0 offset is the problem... You're going to need to
1. roll the fender
2. get a stretched tire
3. go even lower so that you get negative camber which will help tuck the top of the tire in, away from the fender edge.

Also, can't get the link for the pic to work. Is this in a public album on FB or private? The only civic I saw on your wall was a purple EK and the wheels fit fine.

How would spacers help this problem?

he tried that but is didn't end in ".jpg" so it didn't work. You have to link the actual image link, not the page that the image is on.

looks like offset issue

well i have camber kit is there a way i can make it fit

Its the 0mm offset is why it sticks out with spacers will only make it worse.

Even with adding - camber will not help with them sticking out that much

Suggestion is to sell wheels and get a set with a + offset like close to 35 then it will actually be in the fender properly.

it can be done:

but you'll need to do the 3 things I listed above.

Or Just sell the wheels and get ones that fit better as EJ1_MK suggested
