Im looking at getting 17x7.5" wheels for my civic. they come in a +40offset.

will this offset fit my car?

also with the 7.5" rim, i can squeeze on a 205 series tire, but would a 215 be better? and will the 215 with the +40 offset fit?

sorry, this isnt my forte..help is appreciated!

They should fit . If you car is dropped 2 inches or more they will rub for sure. Stay with 205/40/17 it will fit the car better than 215/40/17. You sure you want to put 17 inch wheels on your car? I had 17 on my si and after putting the 16's i have now I would never go back to a 17 inch wheel (unless it was hella light).

 

i had 17s when i was NA.....then i went back to stock.

now that im boosted, i dont think ill have much trouble turning them, thanks to mr T3/t4

 

i have 17"s and theyre ok

if i didnt get a good deal i wouldnt have bought them

im slammed on 205/40/17s and i barley rub with four people in the car (keep in mine i have a tight suspension: tokico illuminas with ground controls)
