Default Prelude Offset & Aftermarket Rims

Hi - I hope this is in the right forum.

I want to know - if i was to buy a set of rims off a R33 non-turbo:

114.3x4 16x7 with +38offset

They are Enkei RP-01 White


I was wondering if someone could help me determine if the offset/width of these rims is OK for my car. Would these fit my 92 Si prelude (4th gen)?

What is the stock offset and width of an Si 15inch rim?

Thanks.

Yes they will fit and the offset is good for the car at +38, the factory is +42 but that is tucked and looks like .... My question is why 16's unless it's just a good price. Most people have at least 17's and i have 18's on mine(92) and it is slamed. Anyway let me know if you have anymore questions

The only reason for 16's is because they're available! These wheels are used and are at an incredibly good price. I would have preferred 17's but 16 will do.

I have seen 4th gen's with 16's on them and they look pretty good - namely Son's prelude with the volk te-37's on it.

So will the wheels be further away from the brake caliper? or will they be closer to the brake caliper (when compared to a stock wheel?)

Also - will they affect my 4ws at all?

The wheels will be further away from the caliper. This means that the wheel be further out, may not tuck if lowered, but it won't hurt anything, it will give it a more beefy look.

Factory offset on 92-96 Preludes is +55mm. The OEM wheels are 15x6.5". The +38mm offset on the Enkei rims is not optimal because if you are too low you will rub the outter fender.

I've had 17x7's with a 38 offset with minor rubbage... only because my car was lowered to hell. Buy them and take some pics

I will only lower it about 1-1.5inches anyway.

it might work. depends on what tires you're going to be using too. with that mild a drop and stiff enough springs, it should be ok but they might look a little crabbed out.

LMFAO! ^^^^^^^^ He said crabbed out!

If I could do it all over again(still could if I wasn't so lazy) I would do 16's. Right now I've got a set of 17" Enkei Inazumas 215/40's and they're OK; but I would rather have a smaller wheel for aesthetic purposes. The 17 on the 4th gen seems a little overkill. 16"=
