Default Wheel Off Set?

Hows it going. I was wondering for future reference. Does anyone know what the proper wheel off set is for a 91 Civic Si if you're going with either 15 or 16s. I would like my wheels to sit flush w/ fender or tucked under some like people who use the Si wheels w/ the 205-50-15's.

Thanks very much

Depends on how wide of a wheel you're going to run. It's a lot easier to just do the math instead of asking people for numbers. Usually for one wheel size there's a range of offsets that make sense.

EDIT: Incidentally, I've run 205/50/15 on a 15x7 +35 (might have been a +38...it was a while ago) in the past. They were flush enough with the fenders for me, but i don't care about that stuff at all.

As for either 16 or 17's I wouldn't go wider than a 7" wide rim. Yeah, don't want it to stick out real far.

Hi There!

Thank's!...
