Hey Guys. I have a '90 Civic Hatckback. I want to get some Rota Slipstreams 15 x 6.5 Inches. I was wondering, what offset should I be getting for my car? Would it be +40mm, +42, or +45 offset?

 

i believe it's 40mm for most hondas...99% sure but let someone else chime in before you base it on me.

And do they stick out from your CRX at all? Or do they look like the stock rim does?

 

40 mm is the off set, 45 mm will stick out a little bit but, its not very noticable. but 40 mm is the stock off set.

They're also 14x5.5" or 14x6" instead of 15x6.5" like the Rota's. The skinnier overall wheel width is where the extra 5mm of outward room can come from.

Yeah bra.

 

1) Any of those offsets (40, 42, or 45) will work on a 6.5" wheel. Assuming you are using a typical 205-50-15 or 195-50-15 or 195-55-15 tire and aren't extremely lowered. The +40 would give you the most track width.

2) The one post about which offset sticks inwards/outwards is backwards. Given two wheels of the same width, a +40mm offset wheel will stick farther outboard than a +45. The offset is the distance from the wheel's hub mounting face to the imaginary centerline of the wheel.

3) 90-91 CRX-Si's came with +45mm offset 14x5" wheels.

 

you guys really need to get your facts straight before you post.. 45mm is the ideal offset for a honda.. get that..it'll fit awesome.

 

yo i got gsr wheels with tires ill trade for the slipstreams

Thank God somebody knows what's going on.

what would be the best tyre size to run on 14in Hx wheels with a 2in drop all around? 205/50R14?

 

anyone know who made the 88-89 Si wheels and how much they wiegh?
