Default Offset issue!

Hi Guys,

Few weks ago i have insalled a 16*7 wheels (offset 25) with 205/45 tires. (on civic si 00)
I dorve the car for 1 day and then returned back to my stock wheels.
The car handled like ****!! Seems the offest highly effect handling..and the tires was hitting the fender on high bumps.
Any one got an idea what is the minimum offset to get for a 16*7 wheels and have the wheels sit inside the fender!
so i can avoid one more time...trial an error offset!!!

Like Eso said, your offset is wrong. Switch to wheels with a proper offset, or roll and flare your fenders.
