i posted this in the civic forum but maybe i'll get more help here...i want to buy some new rims, in either 16" or 17". the only thing is that the 16" comes in a +40 offset and the 17" comes in a +45 offset, which sucks because what i want is a +42. anyways, i don't know if i can drop my car too low with a +40, and with the +45 i might rub the inside. does anybody have either offset on their civics and is there any problems with it?

i had some 15x6.5 +38 wheels with 195/50/R15 82V Dunlop Formula FM901 tyres, (all standard ride height, etc), and the front tyres hung out the guards. I would assume +45 would be the way to go. If they sit too far in, get some wheel spacers. Dont know about USA but wheel spacers are illegal over here in Australia.

telling us the diameter is cool, but offset specs relate to rim width. a lot of hondas use a 45ish offset, but not on a 8.5 rim!so you need to tell us the width...

if you are talking to me...my bad. the width is 7. 16x7 is +40...and the 17x7 is +45. and this is for a civic.
