Well, sure it gives you a wider stance. I guess.

But it also isn't ideal.

Look at my signature, that's a 17x7.5 with a +45mm offset. If I had a +43mm offset, I'd be rubbing.

 

I guess I may have to stiffen up the shocks (adjust the yellows to be stiff) and may have to roll the fender.

What abou 16x7's with a +42 offset? Would they rub?

I don't understand why a +40 would stick further out than a +45, I thought it was just the placement of where the hub connected to the outside of the rim ex: stock(standard, not alloy) rims are like in the middle and aftermarket ones are more towards the outside it seems.

 

This is a wheel offset calculator: http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

So you enter in a 7.5" wide rim with a +45 offset, and a 7" rim with a +42 offset. According to the calculator, the 7" +42 wheel will have 9 mm more clearance with the shock housing, and 3 mm more clearance with the outer fender. Quite handy.
Think about it this way: the higher the offset, the further the wheel gets "pulled in" towards the car.

The offset is the distance between the hub mounting face and center line of the wheel. The link I posted above should give you a decent explanation of what exactly it is.

 

Ok, cool. SO what is the stock Integra rim? I know 6" but offset?
