1995 Rims Question?
What's up everyone. Need a lil help. I am planning on buying rims for my 1995 Honda Civic VX Hatch... I've looked around and am interested in the Maxxim Oxygene 16"... I just need to know if these will fit perfectly without rubbing, etc... PLease keep in mind that I have a Buddy Club 2 Body Kit that I will install in January and need to know if these 16"s will rub on them. Also, will the offset be okay? Any help is appreciated as I am a newbie with rims. Thanks,
James

James-
Your 16-inchers will work just fine. Your wheel is 16X7 so you will want to get a positive 40 (+40) offset, usually you would get a +42 but it appears it is not offered in that offset, so the +40 will work just fine (anything in the +40 to +45 range fits good). Your lug pattern is a 4X100 and takes a size 12mmX1.5" lug nut too.
As for your tires I would stick with a 205/45-16 or a 215/45-16 either one will work a-ok, but the 215 will give you a little more width, so if you are going to lower your Civ-dawg a lot I would go with the 205/45-16's to reduce the chance of rubbing.
Make sure you get Hub Centric rings with your rims as well, otherwise you may get some vibration in your steering wheel, but most shops will include these for free anyway.
So there you have it, you need your rims to have a +40 offset, a bolt pattern of 4X100, lugs/locks with a size of 12mmX1.5, and tires with a 205 or 215/45-16 size depending on how low you plan to go. Good luck and feel free to ask anymore questions before you order.
