    Installing wheels from a Rice rocket =)

    A buddy of mine is putting on some wheels from a Civic that are 16x7. Car is lowered with Bilstein Sports and H&R race springs. Fenders are rolled. What kind of spacers for the front and rear would be needed? I think the offset is 45 on the rims and don't i need to bring it down to about 30 or so?? enlighten me on this subject :) thanks

    Offset is probably +41, so if you want to bring it around +30 get 10mm hubcentric spacers. I'd recommend a slightly lower offset than +30 so the tires fill the wheelwell nicely.

      25mm offset is ideal, as it will allow him to run 225's. Definitely check the offset on the wheels before you order the spacers. Jarvis' Civic-fitment Borbets were et35.
