So I'm in the market for some new bigger wheels. So I was wondering if 15x7.5 with a +25 offset will stick out of the wheel well. Also, what would be the best tire size for this set up. I'm not sure if the mods are picky about this kind of thread, so if its in the wrong place could u kindly please move to the appropriate thread thanx

 

Anyone have similar sized wheels?

 

Someone? Lol

 

There is an EF picture thread that has ALL SORTS of wheels/tire/offset combo's. Go through that and make your choice. I put some 15x7 +36 on my hatch and they fit well even tucking a little bit of tire. Tires are Kumho Ecsta AST 195/50/15.

 

Koo that's usable info. thanx
I think ima try the wheels

 

15x7 +25-30 will probably be your best best as far as fitment goes. You may need to roll your fenders depending on how low you are.

 

I probably do have thousands of photo's of ef's but I wouldn't know what your after, so check the EF picture thread, and the EF squad, its where I got everything

 

!5x7 +41 is good +35 or lower will stick out too much and look like a truck

 

You sure about that??? 15x7 +30 with 195/50's

 

I'd do 195/50 or 185/50

I'm running 13x6.5s +10 offset on 185s and it's not sticking out... don't even have a camber kit.. just rolled fenders and a drop.

 

Dam 13'sx6.5. Dam I'm runnin 14x6.5 and I have abt a inch to play with ill prob have to get a camber kit for me to be happy.

 

No I wasn't, I was hoping someone would correct me cuz I was confused. Is it the higher offset that makes the wheels sick out?
But heres 15x7 +45

15x6.5 +40 205/50/15

 

No, the higher the offset the more the wheel will be inside the fender. The lower the offset the wheel will closer to the fender, even past it (for that dope lowrider look).

I have 15x6.5 +45 and I love the look. Not sunk, no poke. Very clean and proper fitment.

 

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types (measured in millimeters).

Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

Negative
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. When the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. If the offset were to stay the same while you added width, the additional width would be split evenly between the inside and outside. For most cars, this won't work correctly.

 

Okay so...
The stock wheel is 14x6 +45
so if you have a 15x6.6.5 you need an offset somewhere +35 - +40
if you have a 15x7 wheel you need an offset of +38 - +41

 

Meh, give or take a few CM. I like my 15x7 +30's. They fit perfectly and really haven't changed much on the car handling nor quality of the ride wise.

 

So for our ef's/hondas in general, positive offset is the best choice perfromance wise , right?

 

Fixed that for you.

Negative offset is really only reserved for special cases (trying to fit a 17x12 on the front of a Civic), low riders wanting the "poke" look, and widebody kits.

 

Stick with 195/50-15 tires. There are a lot of good choices in that size, including the supersticky Bridgestone Potenza RE-11, Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec, and Toyo Proxes R1R.

And you can use 15x7 if you like, although the tires will probably look a little better on 15x6 or 15x6.5. Don't get 15x7.5, which is too wide for 195/50-15 tires.

 

So what about 205/50/15?

 

It's too big for an '88-91 Civic. It will throw off your speedometer/odometer, and it will make your acceleration slower. Stick with 195/50-15. Unless you're getting R compound track tires specifically for the racetrack or autocross.

 

205/50/15 is the perfect size. shouldn't cost you much money either for tires.

 

Absolutely WRONG. It's a good size for later Civics ('97-00) and Integras, but it's too big for the older Civics, for which 195/50-15 is a close match to the outer diameter of the factory size tires, whereas 205/50-15 is significantly larger and therefore not a good choice. Look at the calculated outer diameters and see for yourself:

175/70-13 (stock size for most older Civics): 22.65"

195/50-15: 22.68" (+0.1 percent)

205/50-15: 23.07" (+1.9 percent)

be nice guys, but good info
