Hey guys, getting some new rims in a couple of weeks. Just a question>> I'm wondering if a +40 offset, with my suspension/lowering setup, will be acceptable? I have koni yellows and neuspeed springs. 1.75" F/ 1.5" R

 

It should work fine. What size wheels are you getting?

 

I have a set of 17" konig troubles(new for this year), and a 40 series kumho 712 tire to go along with it

I was just worried about some rubbing that might occur.

 

+40mm offset on what size wheel and what size tires?

You can't just say yeah that will work if you don't know the dimensions of the wheel and tire.

 

205/40/17"

 

you should be safe with a 40 series tire, thats pretty thin. but i remember having trouble with the inner plastic lining in the wheel well when i had my 17's on 205-40's in my cr-ex. but as long as your springs keep their bound and rebound. and shocks are in good shape you should be fine. i would have some conscern if you had like a 3" drop or more.but should be fine.

 

Excellent, thanks bro. This is what I'm thinking. I had some doubts about the inner wheelwell if I chose more then +40. I was thinking +42 because I was worried about the fender but.......


anyone else??

 

Well you didn't answer my 2nd part of the question. What size are the wheels. You could have a 17x8" wheel with 40mm offset and that will not work.

 

since 17x7 is the most common i just assumed. but yeah good point CivicSiRacer. what is the width of the rim.

 

you should be fine. im running a 2.5 inch drop with some 35+ offset. no problems yet h:
