I just ordered some 5Zigen 16x7 fn01rC with the standard +35 mm offset. I want to run 205-40-16 tires on them. Will i have plent of clearance on my 93 hatch?

I hope I would seeing that i once had 215-35-18's on a dumped civic backin the day.

Not to bust in on your post, but I'm a newb so I figured I'd give you a bump anyway.....but I was wondering what exactly the offset is? I realize the wheel is a 16in and is 7inches wide, but I was just curious what is meant by offset? Thanks!

from my understanding it is the positive distance from the center of the wheel, thus if you want to run a wider tire you would need a positive offset to give you internal clearance of suspension parts, but ultimately putting you closer to the inside of your outer fender.

I would be guessing, but I dont think that the factory has a 0mm offset, but they tend to be milder 15-20mm
but im jumping from a 165mm wide tire to a 205 mm wide tire

Now I'm more confused the before.....lol......btw when do I lose the "trial user" status. I want to be able to post more than 5 times a day!

just keep hanging around, and dont bash on anyone until you have some virtual ***** (ie post counts)

I believe it is 7 days to lose the trail user thing, and 14 for IM and classifieds access but I could be wrong

38 views and no one is running 205 tires with a +35 on their hatch? come on fellas
