yeah, a '94 ex would be a 5th gen (an ej1 to be exact... good car choice )

Anyway, if the offset is between +40mm and +45mm and the tire size is 205/40-17, you'll have no real issues with rubbing even if you do lower. Like I said before, with a +40mm offset, you might have some very slight rubbing, in which case you'd want to roll the fenders to make it stop (if you're at stock height rubbing shouldn't really be too much of a problem). If you get a chance to look at the wheels in person, the offset should be stamped somewhere on the inside of the wheel (probably on the back of one of the spokes).

dito... id go for the wheel swap as long as they are not scared all up that is.... just be sure the tire size is right or at least close... the rear isnt a big issue on rubbing most of the time... but the fronts can rub if the tires are to tall and wide when you hit a hard dip or fast turn at stock height.

38mm offset is what i had... and when i slightly lowered it 1.5-2inches my rear from the fender lip... a simply fender roll fixed that problem! and when i bought the used wheels i used to have replace the larger tires in the front when at stock height. tho i kept the rear larger tires as long as i could until i had a bubble on one tire so then i replaced them.
the main thing thats killing your sale is they are sony. plus the mismatching subs looks. try selling the subs seperatly youll have a better chance..
