How offset can you go on a stock 89 civic suspension without fender rub?

Wheel size, width, and tire size all factor in as well.

Please do some research on wheel sizing.

As LudeEFv2.4 eluded to, you will need to be far more specific with what you're referring to.

First of all, you'll want to state the goal of the car's build.
Secondly, you'll want to pick a tire size that's withing 1% of your car's original overall tire diameter (you'll want a tire size calculator for this).
Thirdly, you'll have to size the wheel to the tire's specifications (tires do have a range of wheel widths that they can fit on safely).
Finally, you'll have to pick the offset of the wheel based on the wheel's dimensions and available clearance on your car.


For your particular car, a 15x7 +35 would be more then sufficient, and would allow you to run safer tire sizes.


PS. At stock height, you can mount almost any wheel size you can imagine, because there's enough clearance to the tire. This is not an entirely safe or legal option, though.
