(brain fart) +45 too much?

[BLUEMEANIE]

I'm having some sort of mental lapse .... is a +45 offset too much for a gen7 (93-97) AE102???
I believe the stock offset is around +38. ...so its only a matter of 7mm, correct?

tia.

My stock 13" are ET45...

[BLUEMEANIE]

I'd be running a 14x6 at +45 on an AE102

I know +42 is ok but would +45 stick out or rub or something....

I've got 185x50xR14's on mine at an offset of +45... tis fine. a little close, but fine all the same

[VooDoo]

imho, i'd run them with spacers.

how flush do they sit to the fenders and how close is close to the strut?

[Flashmn]

they'd be closer to the strut than a 42mm offset one.

I thought they would be further... maybe I'm misunderstanding how offset works.. I thought + offsets go towards the outside and - offsets go towards the inside.. but I think I was misunderstanding how the inside of the wheel would work.. I get it now.

i got 16s and +45mm offset...

rubbed only once so far because trunk was fully loaded (camping) with 4 ppl in the car... and a drop in the highway...

I love how my car looked that day...haha

With a plus offset I don't think you'll have any wheel sticking out of the fender problems.
Only Strut Rubbing...

i'm using stock 2001 civic ex rims with 205/50/15 and the front fit fine but the back hit the struts unless i use spacers but the thing is that when i use them i can bearly get the lugnuts on there. They're like 1/4 of the way in. Can anyone tell me why? I went to discount tire and they said that tire size should fit fine. I got a 1992 4 door corolla.

different lug nuts maybe.. remember they're Civic rims.. not really meant to fit Corollas or Toyotas for that matter.
