Will 40+ offset work on my car??

Hey guys wondering if 16X7 rims with a 40+ offset will work on my 98 civic si coupe?? the car is lowered and is going lower in the spring. I want to make sure they won't rub. If its not the right one the what should i be looking for. Thanks

yes, that's a great offset! it's ideal... but even so, when going low with an oversize tire (205/45/16) you can still run into rubbing problems, depending on how low you go. go for it, and we'll eliminate problems as they arise.

I got a set of tires, but there 205-40-16, you think that will be ok? its like a 2% difference.

^ in that case ur speedo is gonna off by 11km ish. You should have gotten 205/45/r16 No rubbing

The tires that im gettin 215/45/r16 i took some measurements they wont rub either. even if you wannted to go with those.. wider is better if ur boosting

ya smaller tires should be fine, less chance of rubbing. wont' damage anything, but I do recommend the right size rubber.
