Default Size and Offset question

I'm curious to know if this size rim w/ this offset will fit an 99-00 Civic Coupe

15"x7.5" at +38mm offset

and if not how off would they be?

and does anyone have pics of a rim like that on one

Is this for street tires, or track tires?

If it's for street tires, I sure wouldn't get those. They're too wide. On a '99-00 Civic with 15" wheels, you need 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 tires. 195/55-15 is only approved for wheels 5.5-7.0 inches wide. And while 205/50-15 is approved for 5.5-7.5, they're going to look really stretched onto 15x7.5.

Get some 15x6 or 15x6.5 and you'll be good to go.

will fit... but the width is to much for a 205/50r15 or a 195/55r15 tire....unless you have the room for a 225/50r15 for the strip???????

well it is for the street

but my main concern is the tire rubbage...and if i need to roll the fenders at all

and im not worried bout tire stretching...i kinda like that look...i just wanna know f that size will fit

basically im very interested in teh Drag DR-20 wheels and want to know if they will fit...they are only available in 15x7.5 and has 38mm offset

this is wut the rims look like

do you have 14's on now or 15's on now????????if you have 15's then take a tape measure and add another .75 inches from the outer lip to the outside of the fender to see what is going to rub...if you have 14 then take the tape measure from the outer lip to your fender 1.50 inches and you will see how much room you have....hope that helps

They'll fit ok, but you won't be able to go too low on those wheels. These are 15x7 +38, make you own judgement:
