Wheel size?? Need some help.

I have a 97 civic hatch and looking to put some 17" wheels on it. I found a set with a +42 offset. Will these fit with 205 / 45 x 17 tires and not rub? The car is not lowered.

I'm not concerned about the 17" wheel size as much as I am about the offset. Is the +42 offset going to be ok?

I have used 40 and 45 offset with 205-40-17, on Integra.

Yeah. but 17 are big on a civic. 15 have the best tire choices followed by 17. but 15 = lighter, cheaper tires

Re: Wheel size?? Need some help.

The proper tire size depends on the year. For a '97-00 Civic, get 205/40-17.
