    hi guys, i'm planning to buy a rota IKF 17" mags for my civic fd 2010. It's a personalized order so i got to choose my own offset. The problem is I don't have any idea on what offset would best fit the civic as well as the size of tires I will use. I'm thinking of thicker tires to lessen the gap of the tires and the body of the civic. I need your suggestions. Thank you.

    FoR looks, go with 18" rims with 225\40 tires, +45 offset

    Most fd's I see runs with 18s. Don't know why but sure looks cool. Imho

    +45 offset is a good general-purpose offset for front-wheel-drive cars and it'll fit most Hondas.

    What wheel width are you considering? 7"? 7.5"? You might want to compare your potential wheel specs with your stock ones.

    I'm also considering 18" but some say that my riding comfort will be compromised. If ever i've decided to get 18" wheels, what can you suggest that i should do to lessen the riding sacrifice other than slowing down on potholes and changing my springs..
