Hey guys,i tried searching but it doesnt work!!
i wanted to ask u a quick question...anyway so i found some 7,5 x 16" rims for my civic eg..the only thing is that the offset is 38...now from what i remember from my old civic,a 33 offset brought the wheel in line with the fender..
so my question is with a 38 offset,how far into the fende will my wheel go?any fotos?

+38 will be pretty flush with the fender.

 

you sure??cuz with the 33 they were flush.....really though what's the difference,5 mm?

 

Because thats the size wheel I run on my car.

 

on an eg right??
anyway so should i go for it then??does an eg look good on 16"??
do u have any photos of your car?just so i can have an idea...
do u thing that my old offest was 33 because i was running a 6x14 rim??does that affect it at all??sorry for the noob questions..

 

I don't have an EG, I have and EK, but it will fit pretty much the same.

 

thanks very much...i looked at the foto of your car...my goos they a superb!
anyway i as thinking, do u think that my old offest was 33 because i was running a 6x14 rim??does that affect it at all??sorry for the noob questions..

 

Rim diameter has nothing to do with offset. Offset is what direction and how far the center of the wheel is in relation to the outside of the rim and is related to the width of your wheel. +45 = tiny lip(most of the time) and further outside, -5 = deep lip and further inside.

Just remember the lower the number the more your wheel will stick out.

Hell I used to run + wheels on the Silvia ! It's all about the camber

 

i see...well then i have no idea why i had a 33 before!!
anyway thank you very much,i think i might as well buy them...he only wants 100euro for 4 of them......in US it is about 130....

Camber and toe is an effect of lowering not wheel offset. / \ negative \ / pos.

 

this is the wheel in question

...i already have a nice project for them...red lip/black center.....
now that you have seen the wheel,how wide do u think the lip is?

RED X

 

i dont get you....u mean they arent good??
i only need them cuz they cost cheap,and to get the wheel size on the reg. book...her in italy you are not aloud to change wheel size......if you pay alot you can,so i nedd to spend little on the rims for now...

 

I meant the photo is not showing, I cant see it.

 

ok, i dont know about you but right now i have rota C8's 15X6.5 and offset is 38 and they rub when i take a hard turn or there is a dip on the road and the wheel bounces down and up fast. i have 205-50 tires. just thought i'de share

 

i dunno..maybe your car is really slammed?

 

nope, h&r sports, wheels/tires stick out and have the "slicks tires look" if u know what i mean. might be the tires im running, toyo proxes 4

 

ok i fixed the foto
