Default The Offset, Wheel, and Tire thread

was searching for a thread on wheels tires and offsets for preludes couldn't find one so here we are.

question #1 is, what is the offset on stock rims and what is the ideal offset for aftermarket rims, if it is different from stock?

For a street wheel and tire combo I'd go with what is listed above for race apps go with 16's 215-225/45-50. and an offset of +45

if you want to race, Falken azenis 215/45/16 on the stock rims.

ORRRR if you ACTUALY race

15X7 or 15X7.5 and get some 225/50/15 tires...S03, KD, T1-s(ok)

track only tires, hoosier, kumho victoracers in 225/50/15
