Guys im behind some 16" wheels and im behind some mf-10, regamasters (both very $$$) or if budget isnt enough some RPF1's as my last option.
The thing is that i dont know which would be the correct offset for 16x7 wheels:
+50 (mf 10 i found have this)
+45 (regas)

or other?

I dont want to have rubbing issues but i want it to look and drive OK.

Thanks in advance.
 
+42mm 16x7 will work.

However, it is more determined by your tire size.

205/45/16 maintains one the closest OVERALL circumference of the original 195/55/15 and generally you want this to maintain speedo accuracy.

215/45/16 is even closer.

Thanks Raging Agel, ive always thought 205/45 was the closest to stock size.
By the way, would 16x7 +50 MF 10 clear spoon calipers?
tha same goes for the 16x7 + 45 regamasters.
 
I have a Regamaster 16x7 +42 and it clears the Spoon caliper by less than 5mm gap.
 
Stick to around +40 for a 7" wide wheel. The RPF1 is one of the best wheels ever made, don't look to it as a lesser option.

Dino, im not looking to them like a lesser option. I like them, but I was frist trying to get some regamasters or mf-10´s. in the case of the regas because i has some on my EJ4 and really liked them buy they were 15" and id always wanted 16.....and in the case of the mf10, IVE ALWAYS LOVED THOSE....... (and ive come around a set for $1650 with tires), but in the case of the MF10, theyre +50, and im buying a set of spoon calipers and im worried they wont clear them. (what do you think?)

BUT, trully when I saw a pic of teg boy´s car (http://www.ek9.org/forum/photos-videos/13369-honda-meets.html) a couple of weeks ago i started to think seriously on the Rpf1, fot two facts. Good, light, nice looking wheels, cheaper and NEW.
If I buy those i think im going for +42 or +40 max....
 
If you have clearance issues with +50 MF10's, you can always buy some smaller spacers. Caliper clearance is very good on those wheels
