    +40 and higher offset is usually a good fit for any EK-body Civic such as the SiR. If you want a truly idiot-proof offset go for +45.

    Do not neglect to look at your wheel width as well as your offset. If the offset is correct but the wheel is too wide you can still rub. (Conversely narrow-width wheels have a little more leeway with offset - you can run a little less offset without rubbing, e.g. 15x6.5 +38.) You should stay away from wheels wider than 7.5"

    For daily driving 15" wheels are actually best for an EK Civic. 16" wheels are okay too. 17" wheels are pushing it already - tires are expensive, wheels are heavy and harshness is an issue at that size.

    i agree with type 100. 15s-16s are already good for SiR. but 17s is way off.

    putting 17s on SiR is like putting 19s on an FD.

    Also, if you're a serious driver bent on participating in trackdays...almost all of the extreme-performance tires are available in the 15" wheel diameter. Given how expensive these tires are, SiR trackday warriors should really opt for 15s.
