rim/wheel size

[wOlfee]

does anyone no the highest size's for rims and or tires like the offset stud patern n all that stuff (newb)

for 93 eg civic hatch?

it's also pretty low so wot would that effect in size's?

just looking at getting sum 17's..

thanks for any help

Stud pattern should be 4 by 100. Look for an offset for around the low 40's - it really all depends on how wide a rim you are going for.

thanks for info would a set of XHP Chrome BARBs 17"x7.5 4x100 fit?

[tRipitaka]

stud pattern would be 4x100 ..

i'm assuming VTi's have 14inch stock, and you're only allowed 2inches above stock..

so to be legal, u should get 16inch max, but if you're feeling a little daring, by all means, go 17s

[Zdster]

The width might be a bit of a problem. It also depends on if you want to lower the car as well.

yeah thats wot i mean i think there's 15's on there now and they sit under the gaurds..

tryen to figure out wot type if any 17's would fit on.

In NSW, you may legally fit any rim & tyre combination as long as the rolling diameter of the said combination is no more than 15mm larger than the largest factory option and no less than 15mm under the smallest factory option.

http://miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html is the place to check if your legal or not
175/75R14 means 205/40R17's are legit!!

Yep thankyou this should really be cleared up as a lot of people misinterpret (spelling) the meaning of the law. You can increase WHEEL SIZE as much as you want, as long as the total diameter including tyres doesnt increase total rolling diameter (wheels and tyres) by 15mm. So you can go 19s if you can find them. It should also be said that you can only go an inch either way in wheel width. I had enough trouble finding 17s which were under the restricted width (which for your car is prolly 7.5 inches wide, correct me if wrong sum1). So you could go 18s if you want.

26mm rim width larger than the largest factory option.
We got 17"x7" on the Civic(205/40's and 18"x7" on my Pulsar(205/55R15 is same diameter as 215/35R18's!!)

That Miata site sure does help you calcualte what you can legally use so my work car now has 235/40R20's in place of the 215/70/R15's it once wore.

Mechanics Tip: Find a Tyre Guide from Falken/Bridgestone(I got a Firenza one), which has both your old tyre size and new tyre size rolling diameter. If the cops start hassling you, show them the guide for proof your legit!

i think 16" is perfrect for eg

i used to have 17x7's on my eg hatch.. fit just perfect..
however would scrap under a heavy load at the rear...
so if you're looking at getting 7.5" width.. depending on clearance..
u may have an issue.

Each to their own, but I like my 15" on my EG VTi.
They look great and give good ride/handling. But really depends on your priorities. If you want big, go big.

Just beware the bigger the rim, the less the sidewall on the tyre. Good for looks, not as good for tyre price or durability.
