I have a 1997 Civic SI and the Eibach Pro kit is on it's way. Im pretty sure that it is rated for a 1.5" drop. I was just wondering what offset i would need for 17" rims. Im looking at the Konig Tantrums which are 40mm offset , just want to know if those should be fine without having any rubbing problems etc.
Thanks

 

Standard for our cars on 17s is 40 or 42mm so you will be fine.

 

for a 17x7, 45 would be best. with anything from a 40-45, the tire will still rubb the inner fender when you turn the wheel all teh way to one side

 

I have 17"x7 konig traffics on my 00 civic with eibach sportline drop, not sure what the offset is.. but everything works fine.

 

To play it safe you need a 17x7" rim with 42-44mm offset and 205/40x17" tires.

 

96 ex---eibach pro kit---17x7 43 offset 5zigen rims---no problems.

 

42 is probably the standard for our cars in that size.

 

All i can find for rims that i like is 40mm, like i said before i like the Tantrums and i also like the Motegi MR7's but they only come in 40 as well. Does anyone know of a rim that is similar in looks that will come in 42?
Thanks for replys so far guys.

 

40 should be fine.


Im running a 38 on my 15's on a 2.5 inch drop. I wish they came in 40...but Im doing fine so far.
