post what fitment works.

[Tim]

55 mm offset fits on the Si. Same wheel and tire size as stock.

[2006exsedan]

you might want to post if you do or do not have drop springs as well .. since this will greatly affect what rims fit the car

im running 2" neuspeed race and

both

17x7 +55 and 17x7 +45 offset FIT with 205 45 17" tires

Are you a member of the MSProtege.com forum? That site has got to be one of the most organized and well-thought out sites I have ever seen! I have been a member there since I first got my last car in 2003.

Oh yeah, and this is a GREAT idea. Maybe the first post in the thread should be updated with all the new "fitment recipes" occassionally so we don't have to search the thread for sizes and stuff.

I think we should make this thread sticky as well!

Yeah I remember seeing you on there. My name is Gizmo360, I owned a 2001 MP3 until December 2005. Great car, but the '06 Si is miles ahead of it (literally!). Good to see you again!

Hey i remember your username. Its a small world. I am a self proclaimed message board whore. Protege5.com, scionlife.com, 8thcivic.com, thefiringline.com, glocktalk.com, the list continues.
sORRY FOR THE TANGENT

Once this thing gets going i'll clean it up and hopefully get a sticky.

[Tim]

I have run those same 17x7 with 55mm offset on a 1.5 inch drop as well, but I guess that's redundant since he already posted a 2 inch drop.

I found some wheels I like and can afford. I have an EX coupe lowered on S-techs, and the wheels I want are 17x7 +40. Will they rub? I have no idea, someone help me out please--Brian
