Default Enkie RPF-01?

I am looking to get a set for road racing. I would like to get the widest wheel and tire combo I can fit on the car. I want a 16" wheel. What off-set would be good for a 2000 civic. This is going to be just a dedicated wheel for track only. Thanks

they also have 16x8 i believe..

far as i know there are hondas out there running +25 on a 8 wide rim..

some are doing it even LOWER offset but thats overkill for me..

+43 is kind of high. Right now I'm on +38, and my next set is going to be +35. You can also use spacers, but there are different opinions on that topic.

You should also keep in mind that you're probably going to have to roll your fenders.

Widest width and Tire, and what offset if going to vary depending on what suspension, brake, body mods you're going to do.

Easiest way to measure is to stick a ruler to the side of your of your wheels and figure out where you want to be....if that makes sense. Then you'll have an idea of what needs to be done in order to make certain wheels fit OR what wheels will fit without fender mods. You'll also need to figure out what tires you're running as some sidewalls are more round then others - also your allignment...etc etc etc

The question you need to ask yourself is

"how far into the rabbit hole do I want to go?"
