New wheels for the Civic, what offset?
I have 17" wheels right now on a 40 sidewall. They are too big and it makes the car sit too high even lowered a little bit 1.75" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. I was thinking 16" wheels on a 40 sidewall would look good and obviously drop the car a half inch. It would make more fender gap though but would still probally look good. Or would it look better to get 15" wheels and a bigger sidewall? anyways what offset should I get?
Well how much are you looking to spend? For like $600 the off road, rota grids don't look bad. 16x8 +20 offset. Only Honda/acura fitment pictures I could find. I would go with 16" myself.

thread digging rather than making another thread about this... I think the 17" wheels I have on now are +42 offset. I believe i'm running at 0° camber and it looks very close for the back. I heard something about +40 offset being the limit for the rear without adding more negative camber and rolling the fenders? I would like to add tires wider than 205 if I could mainly for the front but I dont want rubbing issues. So should I go with +40 offset and play it safe? Of try for more and roll the fenders?
