Because it's a Honda. An easy fix for the wheel gap is to buy taller tires. I see a 4g running with like 65 series tires, no wheel gap, but looks kinda ***.

I got 17's on my car currently, my rear arches are just hanging over the tyres, my front is just above. I have no camber kit and my tyres are at 34psi.. I had my tyres at the recommended psi of about 42 and the front tyres got shredded in about a week.

depends on how clean you want it, you could do it without a camber kit but you'll have to lower your tyre pressure to slow the shredding proccess of your tyres

I would definitely get a camber kit though, just so you won't have uneven wear on your tires and have to replace them often. I used to want my fender to be right in line with the top of the tire, but then realized that was way too low (for me anyways, Florida roads SUCK), so now the space is about 3/4, maybe just a little less.

my car is like 2.5 inches lower and i have the camber kits at my house but i dont have them installed, the thing is the camber doesnt seem very bad and after 1500 miles or so i havent noticed any excessive tread wear, i actually still have the little curb feelers on the inside of the tires.
