Re: Tire and wheel noob needs help
There's quite a range if sizes you could run. It depends on what you really want to do with the car. 15-17's will fit comfortably in those wells depending on offset and width. Tire size will depend on which wheel size you get. Some common sizes are 15x7 with a 205/50 tire, 16x7 with a 205/45 tire, 17x7 with a 205/40 tire. Just examples. As far as offset go's which is how deep or shallow the hub of the wheel sits in the barrel of the wheels, will also determine on tire size for proper fitment. For example, an average offset for a honda is around +50, which puts the wheel further under the vehicle. The lower the number in offset, let's say +36 will push the wheel further out from under the vehicle. All of these measurements as far as offset and tire size are in metric (mm's).
