The si wheel is 17x7 45mm offset.... its posted in the wheel thread...

 

[dnbsi]

does it have to be exactly 45mm? when i select the si on tire rack to shop for wheels not all of them are 45

[dnbsi]

no the offset can very

thanks. so what does the offset mean?

 

[SI_Smiley]

was totally off..listen to izzy ;P

i believe the offset is the tires wall width...so if ur car isnt lowered and u order 17" rims with a 40 mm or lower offset..the car will look alittle higher than normal off the wheel. hence..lowering springs.

i'm planning on getting 17's in the spring and going to try to keep the 45 mm offset. i wanna keep the car as bone stock as possible. just rims for me

Huh? Nope.

Offset is basically how far the back of the hub is from the centerline down the middle of tie width of the wheel.

will the 48mm offset be ok on these wheels? thinking about them for my fiji coupe. what do ya think? http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...alse&filterBrand=All&filterNew=All&sort=Brand

17x7 with 48mm offset will make the wheel stick IN a bit more, but it will still work.

 

[dnbsi]

cool. the dealer threw in a set of free wheel locks on my stock wheels, will these also work with the rims i posted?

 

[Izzy]

No, they're probably acorn (slightly bulged out) wheel locks, you need the straight style locks.

Good job

Izzy...Post #7 is one of the best posts I've seen on 8th civic. You answered his question with a direct answer with a diagram leaving no way to misunderstand your explanation.:thumb::thumb:
