    Default +45 offset 17x7 on 95 coupe?

    Just wanted to know if a +45 offset 17x7 on 95 coupe would this "tuck" too much? Could I use spacers? Anybody with this set up now?

    Thanks. And just for clarity, that would be a 5mm spacer since a the 7 inch wide wheel is normally a 40+ offset? And any good spacer manuf.

    +40 is still relatively high but it's your car. i'm not sure how aggressive you're trying to be.
    umm... at the end of the day a spacer is a spacer

    if you go higher than 10mm though i WOULD get some with studs already pressed.
    for your Civic i'd at least try to go for a +30. that's still really conservative.
