i hate trial and error lol. i don't have enough money to real pull a trial and error kind or thing
Research =)
Find a setup from a similar person/vehicle and use that as your guideline

Easiest thing for me to do was to go on forums native to the car I had and see what kind of setups other people were running. I'm sure that there are plenty of guys on ClubRSX who have their setups posted with pictures for reference. There's also a couple guys on here, StanceWorks, WFC, etc etc who have their setups posted, so take a look at their setups and go from there. Also check out websites like rimtuck.com and tyrestretch.com for examples of wheel fitment & tire stretch. Hope this helps!

yeh you def gotta go check out what kind of style you want to shoot for then research research reseach!
Ok man ill give you a quick but accurate crash course on fitment. I didn't like the trial and error much either and tried to get it spot on the first time and i did luckily enough. Here's what you gotta do:
1-figure out what kinda fitment you want. Tucked,perfectly flush or poke. Like the others said check out forums to to see what looks good
2-look at a grip of peoples wheel setups and I mean a GRIP. Be able to sorta figure how different wheel sizes will look on your car
3- put all your suspension parts on,right ride height, get your fenders rolled and alignment done. Make sure you have some means of Camber adjustment
4- go out to your car and measure with a ruler in mm from where the face of your sunk ass rim is to where you want your beautiful ass new rims to be. Do this for front and back. Most likely they'll be different.
5-use this calculator 1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp to put in the available sizes for the wheels you chose and see what comes closest to your desired width. you may need to stagger
6- once you have your wheels, test fit them on the car and kinda eyeball how much stretch youll need to get that tire where you need it. If it seems too wide, dont stress you can always pull the fenders son
7-get tires and slap those bad boys on there. Make any small adjustments to ride height and Camber to make it perfect
8-sit back and fap to your sexy new car
Hope that helps a little. Just remember don't rush anything and if you need help were all here man.
