Your Mods To 2006-2011 FD Civics

After reading your comments, I have decided to get 17x8, but I am still confused about offset. What is the point to get bigger or lower offset? If I dont want to upgrade brake kits, suspensions, use any spacers, so which offset will be the best?
Thanks

offset determines how far in or out the rim sits, i.e. how the wheel spokes bend

Google: wheel offset, pcd, tyre width, camber, etc

you need to understand these fundamental basics before even attempting to modify your wheels

Depends on what you're going for.

Lame = 15-17inch rims 7-7.5inch wide, offsets higher than +25

Average = 17-18 inch 8inch wide. Offsets around 25.

Decent = 17-18 inch 8-9inch offsets +20 - +30. This will be poking without a bit of camber. You'll need to be rolled for these and you'll need rear camber arms and front camber bolts as a minimum to start being able to fit.

Baller = 17-18inch, 9+ wide offsets lower than +20. This will require stretched tyres and neg camber, and rolled / shaved guards.

Personally I'd stay away from 18+inch rims, for three reasons.
1. Too heavy
2. Too think tyres + expensive
3. Makes getting low much more difficult.

For example my current setup is:

Front: 17x9 +22 with 215/45 and -1deg camber.
Rear: 17x9 +22 with 215/45 and -3.5deg camber.

Personally IMO to get more baller I'd go say 5mm lower offset in the front and rear.

Yep, thats what I want to know. I have googled everything already. Which one I am still confuse I ask you guys, because you have experiences with these. If all you say GOOGLE it, I have nothing to say :-)

Reason I'm trolling is because I've spent a huge amount of time reading and looking at wheel fitments, and there is a lot of things to consider than just selecting the wheels and bolting them on, as you would now know.

I just feel it would be worth learning about it before selecting wheels, and really knowing the ins and outs.

Personal opinion, so no offence :-P
