Default Wheel Offset

Does anyone know what the stock wheel offset is for the 5th gen EX sedan? The wheel size is 15 X 6.5

I have the Helms manuals, but they do not give the offset. In the owner's manual it says the wheel has a 'JJ' profile, whatever that is.

The reason I ask is that I'm thinking about going to a 16" wheel, and I want to keep the same geometry as stock.

v6 alloys are 15x6.5, ex 4cyl (cdm ex-r) are 15x5.5 . the offset should be stamped on the inside of the wheel

stock 4 cylinder EX 7-spoke wheels are +50. look on your wheel, see if you can find the markings somewhere, should be like

15x5.5 JJ 50

where 50 is the offset, 15x5.5 is my wheel size. and I thought the V6's still used 5.5 inch wide wheels?

i have 205/55/15s on those 5.5" wide wheels, and probably will put 205/60/15's on next.

the v6 7 spokes that look like the EX 7 spokes *might* actually be 6 inches wide according to hondaautomotiveparts... idunno, did you look on your wheel or on the inside? did it have the offset as well? If you have it it'd be cool if you can post it for us as reference.
