What is the stock offset on a 1998 Prelude base wheels?

Also they are 16x7? or 16x7.5?

Thank you,

 

search has been covered many times

 

Thanks, I found it.

so stock wheel size is

16 x 6.5
+55 offset.
205/50/16 tires

I'm looking at a set of wheels 17x7.5 with a +40 offset. If my calculations are correct that means I can mount these wheels without any rubbing issues...am I correct?

I'm adding an inch of width but subtracting from the offset so it compensates. I'm not sure tho lol.

Anyone know if I can run these without rubbing?

Less offset will make the wheels stick out more. More wheel with will also make the wheels stick out more. +40 and 7.5 is definitely asking for fender rubbing to happen.

Wierd, I thought with the +40 offset the wheel will get pushed more inside the wheel well. Since the more + offset the more the wheel gets moved outward.


I just found this through search.

OFFSET:

6.5" Wide Wheels w/ 4th & 5th Gen

Less than +38mm ::: You take the chance of rubbing the outside lip of the wheel well.
+38mm to +55mm ::: You shouldn't have any problems. Recommended Offsets for 6.5" Wide Wheels.
Larger than +55mm ::: You take the chance of rubbing the inside lining of the wheel well.


7" Wide Wheels w/ 4th & 5th Gen

Less than +38mm ::: Not Recommended
+38mm to +41mm ::: Not Recommended if you are, or plan to be, lowered. You take the chance of rubbing the outside lip of the wheel well.
+42mm to +44mm ::: This is a grey area if you are lowered, results vary depending on tire and/or drop. You take the chance of rubbing the outside lip of the wheel well.
+45mm to +50mm ::: You shouldn't have any problems. Recommended Offsets for 7" Wide Wheels.
Larger than +51mm ::: Not Recommend. You take the chance of rubbing the inside lining of the wheel well.


7.5" Wide Wheels w/ 4th & 5th Gen

Less than +40mm ::: Not Recommended
+40mm to +43mm ::: Not Recommended if you are, or plan to be, lowered. You take the chance of rubbing the outside lip of the wheel well. Wouldn't recommend using any tire with an overall diameter larger than stock and/or with a tire width larger than 215.
+44mm to +47mm ::: This is a grey area if you are lowered, results vary depending on tire and/or drop. You take the chance of rubbing the outside lip of the wheel well. Wouldn't recommend using a tire with an overall diameter more than slightly larger than stock, you chances of rubbing increase.
+48mm to +52mm ::: You shouldn't have any problems. Recommended Offsets for 7.5" Wide Wheels.
Larger than +53mm ::: Not Recommend. You take the chance of rubbing the inside lining of the wheel well.


8" Wide Wheels w/ 4th & 5th Gen

Not recommended without enlarging or rolling outside lip of wheel wells. Some people have had success with running offsets larger than +48mm, but you are taking an expense risk.
