    Default Civic offset question

    Ive got a buddy with a 96 DX coupe. He is buying diamond racing wheels and wants to know what is the lowest offset wheel he can run without pulling the fenders. Fenders for answers

    I'm no wheel fitment whore. But Scotsman's car looked like this with my 0 offset 15x7 Diamond's and 205/50/15s...







    0 offset 15x8's and some 195/50/15 tires and he still had to roll the fenders a bit. (Done after the pics)











    So I dunno, +20 to +25 ish?

    Edit: Fixed

    Looks like the fenders were rolled....not a big deal though.

    it depends on width and the tire size he'd like. get those 2 things and we'll go from there.
