My setup is as such:

MaXX Struts, 17x7 turbo twists w. 205-40-17 and 17x8.5 wheels with 245-45-17, Topline's 5x130 drilled and grooved disks up front with 7/8" swaybar, rear 5x130 drums and 1" spacer, and 1.25" wider fiberglass rear fenders.

That'll be fine for daily driving, although you may want to go disks out back too.

Do yourself the favor and buy the MaXX's and the Disks and Swaybar from Topline. It's an easy install if you know your way around your car. I love mine

I use a stock M/C. No problems at all.

7" wheels with a 40 offset is perfect for the front. Contact "Phat73vw" on this forum. He has 17x7" (et40) Focals on his 73 with no rubbing, no spacing. My wheels are a 55 offset and require a 3/8" spacer in front.

The Topline disks are NOT hub-centric, but I think www.customspeedparts.com disks are. My rear drums and spacers are hub-centric, though.

Any of these setups will work with "honda" wheels.

Oh, and Topline's MaXX struts are made so you don't need big spacers. Everything fits under stock fenders.

Hope this answers your questions.
