Default To all "Stance Experts" i need your help

ok so heres my deal!

pretty soon im going to be purchasing a new set of JLINE wheels, which dont exactly come cheap (as some of you may no) so i need you guys opinion on what offset i should get!

So first of all, choosing an offset to me is like chinese to me, i do NOT get it!so far ive decided on 17x8, and i want some stance when these wheels are on but NOT too agressive, just somehting clean. now my buddy suggested a +25 offset ( i will be purchasing camber kits).....what do you guys think!
PIC WOULD HELP ALOT!

thanks!!

Did you try reading the FAQ?
https://honda-tech.com/forums/wheel-tire-56/9658-forum-rules-faq-read-before-posting-1188922/
What is offset?
The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. It determines how much the wheels stick out from the car. The best offset depends on your particular car as well as on the width of the wheels. As a general rule, you *should* be able to get away with an offset between +35-45, but you will have to check what others have used for your car's year, model, and version to be sure. More info: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.jsp



Measure how much clearance you have, and calculate the offset you need for the width of wheels you intend to buy.

17x8 is a pretty big wheel for an integra. not to mention that in +25. I would look for some thing a little smaller that fits better.

Without fender flares or some method to increase the wheel/tire clearance, there isn't any safe way to mount those wheels with properly sized tires.

mm

If it were in cm, then +25 would be over 9.8 inches, and the hub mounting wouldn't even be inside of the wheel...

With a properly sized tire (205/40/17 for example), you're looking at around +35 for proper clearance.

You'll need negative camber to fit 8" wide +35's, even with rolled fenders/quarter panels. So, I don't really know what you're trying to say.
