I know 15x7" 45mm offset rubs the rear upper control arm on a 99-00 Civic Si. And I know the stock offset is 15x6" 45mm offset.

Would 15x6.5" 40mm offset and 205/50x15" Azenis be ok?

Thanks guys!

95 Civic hatch w/15"x6.5" Rota wheels & Kumho V700s; 38 offset working fine; no rubbing whatsoever.

hope that helps

 

i have 40 offset rota subzeros on my 00 si. When i was still running the azenis i would rub on the fenders but i roled them and no more problems.

edit: The rubbing occured when i still had eibach sportlines which the top of the tire rested right at the fenders. I now have GC with the same rates as you and about 3/4" higher so i'm not sure if i would have had any rubbing at all.

I'm running 15x7 with 40mm offset and the 205/50/15 azenis and have no problem with either the control arms or fenders. 350f/400r springs with fenders about a finger width above the tires.

 

Thanks guys. So it looks like my newer wheels will be 3-4lbs lighter And $50-75 cheaper.
