Im sorry if the answer to this question is in another post, but i couldnt find it.

I just picked up a 93 dx hatch, and have a set of 4x100 17x7" rims i want to put on it, i beleive the wheels have a 42mm offset. Im told that the car has about a 1" drop from factory ride height and im wondering if these will fit, and what size tires i should put on them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys.... :?

17"s will fit, just remember to get the thinnest profile there is. And I think fender rolling will help you a lot! :thumb:

17's are rather big for a Civic IMO.

Stick to 15's, I had 17's and it looked stupid and the ride was bad as well.

if you really want the 17", try a 205/40/R17 tire size and you should be alright if only lowered an inch.

That's what I was thinking too. But since he has the wheels already, he might as well try it on. Or he can sell those 17"s and buy 15"/16"s. :D
