okay, first off i read through the "FAQ" and it said that rims with +35 - -45 offset will be fine. but i have a set of rims that are 16x7 with a offset of +40. would that be okay on my 97 civic hatch? or would there be a problem?

 

An additional 5 mm of offset shouldn't cause any issues on your car. Small brakes with lots of clearance. I'm not sure about the -45 mm offset, that's gotta be a typo

 

i believe that it will fit. but i just hope that it will look good.
