Default Wheel Fitment!

Soo im lookin into a new set of wheels for my 92 Civic SI. So i have 2 options..

1. I found a set that are staggered 15x7 with +15 in the front and 15x8 with 0 offset in the rear. Now my question is what tires would I put on these and will it poke a little to much. Im going to take a wild guess and say they are going to poke to much for my liking. Your input is needed!!

2. I found a set of 15x8s all the way around with either a +20, +25, or a +30. Again these are going on my civic hatch. I dont want alot of stretch and if i can get away with it, i want a pretty fat tire on these wheels. Maybe a 225/50. Your input is needed here too!


Thanks for ur time! Now help a ***** out!

not a chance on the 225.

195 is more like it

195/45 actually, unless you wanna run mexi-poke

15x8+32 on my car with 215/40 has 2 mm of space in the front without a camber kit. rear has camber correction and has less than 1mm of space

Id rather have traction than a stretch. My front fenders are pretty rolled. My fronts also have a 5mm spacer. So they are +35 offset with plenty of room for a bigger tire/wider rim.

I would go with this, will be a little stretch and will look nice.

Get 16s, run a 215/45. Get the +25 up front and +20 out back.


Also, you can't have "pretty rolled" fenders. You can have fenders that have been rolled, and fenders that have been attempted to be rolled, lol.
