wheel problem

Ok so you guys are going to laugh at me but I need your guidance...

I picked up some honda oem rims with winter rubber from craigslist... the bolt and and bore appear fine, but I think I am having an offset issue. I am not sure what car the rims were on.

I was told they would fit 08 civic.

When I have the rims on, the car won't move... I am assuming that the offset is off.

I have an 08 civic, these are oem Honda rims but I don't know the specs.

Rims are 15" and have 195/65/15 rubber on board.

Would 5mm spacers help?

Any safety issues with using spacers?

Thanks

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: wheel problem

See if a rim is hitting a brake caliper.
Whatever is causing the problem should be easy to find with careful observation.
