15x6.5 +42 fit on '96 DX Coupe?
I'm looking into buying a set of wheels. The specs on the wheels are 15x6.5 with a +42 offset. I'm just wondering if these will work ok on my '96 DX Coupe.

yep...you'll rub if you slam it but you'll be okay...i have 15x7's i believe with a 40 offset with 205/50/15's and they rubbed but had to roll my fenders a little to fix that problem.

the reason why you rub is that you are running the wrong size tire if you own a 1996 civic or older....you should have a 195/50r15 and then they wouldn't rub at all.... and that is the size you need as well EGRacersinc

vtecsi00 is correct. It's also worth noting that the proper 15" size in '96 depends on the model of Civic. The DX and hatchback '96 models (like EGRacer's) need 195/50-15, as vtecsi00 noted. All other '96 Civic models need 205/50-15 or 195/55-15.
