can anybody explain how wheel offset works. i have no idea how it works, i thought it was as easy as just putting on the wheel and tightening the nuts...i guess not.

In response to:

'tightening the nuts'

BOND 007 would be your best to answer *that* question . but for the other part, try:

Although not for the Civic, this should give you an idea of what offset is and how it affects tire choice.

or try:

then try Google Search

Good luck
