I have heard that a 43 was ideal for a 17in wheel. Any other suggestions as to what offset will work the best.

Accord Man · 10-24-2001, 10:17 AM

I agree..

Leaves you some room..

10-24-2001, 06:44 PM

in a book i got it says 35, but i dont really know

2000Pimpinex · 10-26-2001, 06:20 AM

35 just doesn't seem right for 17's. I will have to check on that. Thanks though

Accord Man · 10-26-2001, 09:37 AM

Pimp trust me 40+ is fine.

So 43 is perfect.

35 though, no way..

yeah... under 40 you will probably get some rubbing..

I've heard that 43 is the way to go but I wanted to get some input from the experts. Anyway, thanks.

43 will rub on your civic. 43 is fine for my accord and to some degree the newer ones, but a Civic will need a 35-38 offset, almost regardless of brand.

looks like i might be right

11-21-2001, 08:30 AM

IVE GOE A CIVIC HATCH, I READ IN A MAG THAT OFFSET SHOULD BE BETWEEN 38 AND 43. WHEN I WENT TO GET MY WHEELS (TSW EVO BIG DEEP 17'S) THE DEALERS GUIDE BOOK SAID 35. WE TRIED IT AND IT RUBBED EVEN WHEN I RAISED IT WITH THE STOCK SUSPENSION. I NOW HAVE 40 OFFSET AND ITS FINE EVEN DROPPED 1.75 INCES ON APEX SPRINGS

slowEJ6 · 11-22-2001, 08:21 PM

if you went with anything less than a +43 offset, you will rub. 35-38 will cause a hell of a lot or rub.

mine was only a suggestion. different wheel mfrs measure differently. This phenomenon is no different than UTQG ratings. I also based my rec on 2 friends experience with BBS wheels on their Civics ('95 and a '98). As mentioned above, TSWs, but thats why I disclaimed that my rec rec was "almost regardless of brand"

11-26-2001, 06:21 AM

YO, DONT THINK I'M SAYIN' YOU ARE WRONG . I JUST WANTED TO TELL YALL WHAT HAPPENED TO ME, AND MABEY HELP SOMEONE. YOUR ADVICE SOUNDED FINE. HEY I USED TO LIVE IN HOUSTON, WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

No they don't. It's nothing like UTQG ratings...it's a standard measurement. What you may be seeing is that different widths require different offsets.

This is where I would link you to the offset article I wrote, but that would link you up to "enemy" sites and we all know we can't have that...

And yes, for a 17x7 on a civic ex you'll want between a +42 and +46. A 35 will rub all the time even if you don't lower, and a 40 will rub if you do and/or if you take hard turns or have a lot of weight in the car. So just try for 42-46.

Hope that helps.

hehe

you could link to whichever site you want..

As long as there is no porn/violence & other freaky ish..
