Default Rim Offset Questions....

Well i have an 99 civic with the full Type R suspension swap. Im about to buy some Mugen MF10 Bronze 16x7 with a 50 offset. I was wondering if im going to have problems with clearance, im not too familiar with offsets and im getting different answers from people. could someone clarify this for me? would i have rubbing issues with a 50 offset? Has anyone been through this dilema before? any suggestions would be great, thanx

I would think that they would probably rub. I have 40 ofset wheels on my 99 civic and they are pushed out a lot farther than the stock wheels. 50 might be just enough to rub under hard cornering.

50mm might rub on the inside of the wheel well rather than on the outside. get 45mm or 42mm if u dont want to worry about rubbing with a 7" rim

50 is factory offset for the Type-R wheel because the 5-lug hub is thicker than a normal non type-R (GSR/LS) integra's hub and sticks out 5mm more. Stock offset for GSR/LS and all civic's is 45 offset.

Nonetheless, you should be fine whether you stick w/a 50 or 42-45 offset. 38 offset might cause rubbing issues for you.

Rubbing also depends on how low your car is.
