Need help with offset !

I have a 99 honda civic lx , I'm looking for some rims but looking for what offset looks good on this type of car ! Thanks .

Depends on the size of the rim. I think when I was reading something with CTR knockoffs, they were 15x6.5 and had a 38 offset. I think someone mentioned for around that size a 40 +/- 4 or 5 is ok before you have rubbing issues, etc.

Just going by what I can remember off the top of my head, but really you want to find the size of the rim you want and then try to do a little research on offsets other people are running, tire sizes, etc.

It depends on what you are looking for. Look around on here or other forums like Honda-Tech to find examples of what you like. Often times people will mention their setup or you can always message them directly to ask.

All I know is the lower the mm on the offset the further out the wheels will stick out towards the fenders... If your car is lowered, too low of an offset will make the wheels rub on the fenders. It really depends on how aggressive you want the car and wheels to look... But if you get too low of an offset, the wheels might stick out further than what you want. Honestly, my ideal of an offset is when the wheels are flushed with the fenders. That's my opinion though. I just got some XXR 527's 35mm offset for my 2013, and they look amazing
