Default Wheel Fitment for 81 Civic

Anyone know what other wheel fitments are suitable for the 81 vic without adding extended studs?

fitment/offsets/tire size?

stockies are 13inch rims. So if you got pictures, please post them if possible.

and yes i know they're 4x100.

I've seen they fit the HX rims and SI's so i'm guessing something around the +40 should fit fine.

What do you mean? 13's 14's and 15's should all fit fine as long as its a FWD offset.

they are wheels, not "rims"..

everything depends on offset/width etc. there are so many different combinations of both that a 14x6 +38 would fit fine, but a 14x6 +15 might rub like crazy. most of the early hondas don't like much below a +35 without some "massaging". i believe the black wagon up there has a 15x8 +25, at least that is what it looks like to me? with some tire "stretch" to help not rub fenders..
