He's asking what size to buy. This isn't a for sale thread.

15x7 as Matt says.

I got a set of super rare OZ F1's on mine and it handles great. I donno the exact offset though. If anyone can tell me how to post pics on this forum I'd show you all. This isn't the Vbulletin **** I am used to.

Go with 15x6.5. I would NOT recommend 15x7.

For 15" wheels on your car, you need 195/50-15 tires. Those tires are approved for use on rims 5.5-7.0 inches wide. So you can mount them on 15x7, but since that is at the high end of the approved range, they will look way too stretched. And there is no advantage to an overwide wheel. Stick with 15x6.5.

For street use, those tire sizes are too big for a '92 Civic. They'll make your car accelerate slower and will throw off the accuracy of the speedometer and odometer. And using staggered sizes will prevent you from rotating the tires to even out the wear. Stick with 195/50-15.

It doesnt really matter, the 7's will look better because they wont be so recessed into the wheel well.

What about the offset? The 15 * 6.5 are 42 offset. Is this ok or will they be really inside the wheel well?
