I found a pair of Enkei wheels to get, but the only problem is a +42mm offset. What would I do about tires on these? Would 215/40/16 work? or 215/45/16? Both? Which would be better?

Already tried searching too.

that's the link for the wheels if it helps

 

the car these will be going on will determine your ideal tire size. If theyre going on a 95/earlier civic, you should get 205/40/16, if theyre going on a 96-00 civic or any year (iirc) integra, its a tossup between 205/45/16 and 215/45/16, depending on your preferred tire's size availability.

+42mm offset shouldnt be any issue, since most honda applications are in the +45 range.

 

awesome!
that's what i was hoping for

they're going on a 94 civic so thanks for the help!

any thoughts on the wheels by chance? (just since it's ebay).

Correct except (a) the best offset depends on the wheel width, which hasn't been stated, and (b) the '96 Civic is a bastard - the DX and hatchback models need the same size tires as the '95/earlier, and only the other models need the same size as the '97-00.
