Help With Rims

Hi

I own a 1995 Honda Civic 4 Door. I am planning on gettin the Primax 618 17*7 Wheel with 38 offset. Currently i have stock 13's . Do u think my car will lift up alot after putting on these rims or it will look alright and better than my stock wheels. Secondly will the gap between the rims/tires and the car increase. By the way I am not planning on lowering the car.

Thanks in advance

Adeel

it all depends on your tire selection

I am not sure about the offsets, but of course your car is going to raise up if you put bigger rims on it. I have 15' on my civic and it raised up. Just lower it and it will solve this problem

If you ued the same profile tire on a 17 that you did on a 13 it would raise...but you should reduce based on increase of rime size ...example

stock on my car was 185 65 14 I went to a 16 inch rim and I now have 205 45 16 tires ......I hope that makes sense to you ...

for 15" its 205 50 15
for 16" its 205 45 16
for 17" its 205 40 17
for 18" its a kick in the head cause youra retard for getting 18s on a civic.... lol

you get the idea... as the rim size goes up the tire size goes down and this way your car won't lower or higher then it is now...... this is also good to know if you think your droped your car too low.... get some bigger tires... or if you want it a bit lower then your droped it... get some smaller tires... or rims.. whatever you get it...

i would go
15" 195 45 15
16" 205 40 16
17" no way
18" or bigger forget it.. lol, i have a 4 dr and i slamed it, but have steelies now, my tire tuck in like about half n inch. going for 15s, i think its fine for me. so 17s should be fine for u if ur not going to lower ur car
