if i want my rims to be inside my car more what offset do i need? like a 45 or a 40? or what size? for my 92 civic h/b

 

what size?
42-45 clear but with 40 you may have to roll the fender lips.
I think stock is 45.

 

The higher the number (offset) the more the wheels get tucked under the car or pulled in towards the center of the car. A 7" wide wheel should be a 42-44mm offset. A 7.5" wheel should be a 42-43mm offset.

 

when talking about offsets, you also need to take the rim width into consideration as well as the added width from tires. this is why it is very important that you get higher offsets especially when lowered. there is overkill where the offset is too high and you end up rubbing along the back...but on a honda, i doubt this will ever happen (ie, there is just not that many choices available). i have seen 7s and 7.5s on civics so you will probably want something around 45 for better results, but something 42ish will work also (just maybe a lil rubbing).

 

it depends on what size the rim is...for a civic a 17x7 your offset should be 40 or 42 but i think you can also do a 45

 

43 is the best bet for 7's...every site i researched on, gave a 43 offset as perfect for that wide of a wheel

 

does it tuck your wheels in good?

 

there's more pics of my car at http://scott.bcn.net/carpics.html it tucks into the wheelwell perfect for a drop
