Suspension, Brakes, Tires & Wheels - need help with wheels

im changing my tires and wheels for the first time and i need help on stuff that i should know when changing it like offsets and compatibility. right now, i have a 2001 ex civic coupe with stock tires and wheels - any tips on what and where i should get tires and wheels? what's the offset and other specs i should know for compatibility? thanks!

here you go...

keep the offset around +40mm to +44mm

lug pattern is: 4x100

and a good tire size (if u choose to go with 17's) would be 205/40's

if you go over 7" wide on the rim, u might get some rubbing. stay with 7" or less (ex... 15x7, 17x7, etc...)

Any other Q's let me know.

thanks! im going with 17's... can you recommend a good tire brand? also, if i change my wheels from 15 to 17's, will i have to adjust anything else other than my tires? thanks again.

15's to 17's will be cool....no adjustments needed. Tires? I like nitto's....
