Hey everyone. I just bought some new 17" wheels for my wife's 1993 Honda Civic Si coupe. I bought some 17X7.5 with an offset of 40 and will be using 205/40/17" tires. Will this fit her car? Thanks!

You already bought the wheels right? Have you tried them on?

My concern is the new 17's i purchased for her are 17X7.5 (half an inch wider) than her other 17" wheels (17X7 40 offset) and have a 2" deepdish. The reason i'm asking if these new wheels will fit is because the car is still in storage and i don't have access to it until the weekend.

is her car lowered? If it's still at stock height, they should fit without any real rubbing problems... if it's lowered, the tires will probably rub.

How come you couldn't wait to get the wheels until you got your car out?

reaper...my wifes car is really low but has no rubbing issues with her current setup.

Well, tonight i took my wife's car out of storage. I jacked up her car and put the new 17" wheel on and it clears everything and spins freely without a tire. I ordered the tires 2 days ago and will receive them next week. I think the 17X7.5 offset 40 should fit with the 205/40/17 tire. Surely there has to be someone that is running, or has fit 17X7.5's with a 40 offset???
