My g/f just bent the **** out her 2000 civic rims, so I need to order new ones. I found a deal on a set of 17x7's, but are in 40 offset. Will that cause any problems? I know the ideal is 42 to tuck in a little better, but will the 40s rub the fenders. Her car is not lowered, but I might drop a set of Eibachs (or something subtle) in there while I'm at it. Nothing too drastic.

Should I grab these or keep looking for something with +42?

Thanks
You won't have a prob with a +40 mm offset if the car isn't extremely low. Even if it is, you still won't have a problem. But if she bent a 17" wheel, most likely she'll do it again. You may want to ask your girl to go down to a 16" wheel.

BTW Your Supra is badass!!!!! You have more pics? Mods?
