They look like they stick out. Do they rub on the fenders? Can't beat the price.

I also like the school look but that off set is not right. I don't mean to spoil your great bargain but a neg offset to the point where your tires are hanging outside the fendors (even marginally) can have an adverse effect on handlng - be careful. If the tires are rubbing and/or squeeling around corners even at low speeds, you've lost some traction.

no, they arent off an rx-2, they are the gsl-se bolt pattern, i really have no clue who makes them

but they rub a little in the front, im wondering if smaller tires will fix them

and yes, they do stick out almost and inch all the way around
