Civic EG

I'm seeing more and more civics & integras running low offset or even 0 offset wheels with slightly stretched tires.
The VW's have been doing it for ages, as well as some of the VIP sedans. How do you like it on hondas?
common (cheap) rims for the low offset look are Axis Old School (15x8 +25mm) and Sportmax 002, Sportmax 501 (15x8 +15mm)

some sample pics:










15x8 +15offset 195/50/15




(ignore the bodywork) 16x8 0 offset


15x8 +15offset 195/45/15


BBS RS 033 15x8.5 +11


COMPOMOTIVE MESH
15x7 offset is between +25/+30



15x8 +0 offset on a CRX with flares




+25 up front +23 in rear







195/45/15

It dosn't look too bad on smaller cars, but larger ones like the teg, ithink it looks naf.

i like flush wheels wit the body lines

these are a little out.

My opinion:

Low offset is for German cars, big V8's, Skylines, RWD cars etc etc

Don't bring them to Honda

Honda is ment to be clean & slammed.

Looks are great, but handling sucks.
And you should have a lot of money set aside for replacing a lot of undercarriage parts like wheel bearings and stuff...

Stick with offset 40-45 IMO.

the deal with this puts alot of stress on the hubs. Some people just do it because it "looks cool" and have no idea of the effect it has and the strain you put your racks under.

i know i am gonna get ish for this but i like em i love seeing some fat wheels in the back it makes the car look so mean!

Mine are a pretty low offset, looks badass though, fills the wheel arch a lot better than the fat fives or other wheels ive had did

Ive not got stretched tyres or anything, and it most certainly doesnt handle shit

my opinion is OMFG LOVE THE LOOK GETTING RIMS AND DOING THIS TO MY EF

here's a pic of an EF for you then

I love the look of it. I might do my ef like that also! I'm not going to bother doing it to my eg, for boost sake! I will need traction.

i was talking to d15kid about this the other day, planning to do it on my rex...

check out this rsx
Rear: 17x10 +12 offset
Front: 17x9 +15 offset

i love the look of low offset wheels no doubt about it, but like slipcivic said, if it's bad for the car, then not worth doing it.

form follows function.

I agree, function over fashion

It looks really good, but keep in mind it puts tremendous stress on parts wich where not designed to handle the involved increased forces.
