also what kinda wheels are they?
pictures will be nice too.
whats the offset on an EG?

B18C5-EH2

15'' and NEVER any bigger.

Why?

1. Weight. 15'' wheels are lighter
2. Styles - a LOT of real racing wheels are made in 15''
3. Clearances - I had 16'' wheels with same sus and they scrubbed - correct offset too
4. TIRES - NOT any good tires in the 205/40/16 size needed to run 16'' on the 1992-1995 Civics. All the really sticky tires are in 15'' or in 205/45/16. 15'' are CHEAPER too.
5. Price - 15'' wheels will be cheaper than 16'' in same style

That's just me. I speak for ME only - NOT ripping on those with 16'' and UP wheels.

Offset for 1992-1995 Civic? Depends on wheels. Some are +45 like SPOON, some are +38, some are +40. I think mine are +40. Not real sure...

if i get Volk TE37 should i get 15x6.5 ?
is the bolt pattern 4/100 or 4/114.3 ?
What offset ?

its for 92-95 civic hatchback.
do wheels from 94-2000 integra besides ITR work for 92-95 civics ?

Thanks dude.

B18C5-EH2

4x100 lug pattern is correct. 15x6.5 will be fine, but you'll NEED to get the CORRECT offset. 15x7 are very nice too. 15x6.5 and 15x7 should have different offsets to be correct.

Any 1994-2001 Integra wheels (exc. ITR) will look just fine on your Civic hatch. 99-00 Civic Si wheels look great too.

The integ rims will definetly work. Right now i've got 98 ls rims on my 95 EX.
The bolt patterns are the same, 4x100. If Volk makes a 45mm offset i would go with that but it really depends on the footwork your rockin, and the tire size.

BoM

16's or 15's not 17's

i wish i got 16's though to make my car look nicer.....
if your going to get SPooNs or VOLKs get 16's
it just looks better

oh yeah BIG wheels are for TrUCKS

ceas

14' Mugens.




ceas..

Whats wrong with 17s? They look the best IMO. Good for show and ok for go. Never 18s though.

ceas your car is phat! I am not really a fan of the wheels though.

But, did you paint your moldings or take them off of an EX? If painted: how much?

thanks!

Ceas---
what are those mugens called? Is it the CP-48, CP-45, or CF-48? I know they are called something like that. Not a big fan of those rims but they look pretty smooth in black.

14-15" (5.5-7" width) are are most common and acceptable wheel sizes on the hatches anything larger and you will start to make tradeoffs....

weight, tire price, tire sizes, type of tires, terrain and uses all play important role, so choose wisely

38-47mm postive offset in 5.5-7" wide wheel will usually fit without any compromises (99% of the time)

choose the lightest wheel and tire combo which will fit and you can afford

Rota (C8, Slipstream, subzero) currently seems like the best deal for the $$$ as far as look, lightweight and durability....

my choice would depend on the type of driving and uses for the car...for roads full of pot holes, winter driving anything from 14-15" is perfect
16+" wheels tend to be wrong choices in my opnion for anything more then occasional driving and show...also on a d-series powered motor its not exactly peppy either with 16+" setups

my current setup includes 15" wheels, (GSR for winter wrapped in 195/50R15 BS tires and VS-04 lightweights (12lbs each) for the summer with Pirelli rubber), but ever since i went back to d-series want to go back to 14" (as in HX wheel or even some aftermarket lightweights...who knows)



ceas,

how much does your 14" combo weight???

just my $0.02

his wheels and tires arent that light, about average

Brian

deepnite

4x100 is standard on japanesse 4 bolt patters...38 offset is ok for 15 s but for 16 or greater look to a higher offset..min. 40 to keep from scrubbing..those look like C8 s?

Hybrid ctr

can someone explain what offset is exactly
I'm kind of confused
how do you determine the right offset when you buy wheels

lazyvietboi

what are u rollin on now?

lazyvietboi

EKen9
