Default Will my wheels fit???

Hey guys, I'm sorry to say I don't actually own a Civic YET. I have the money saved up, i just need to find one (2000 Civic Si). Regardless, i would value any info you can give me on this. One of my first mods will of course be rims. I have them picked out, (see link: http://www.urbanworx.com/prod_images...OMO-1_img2.jpg) Motegi Traklites 1.0, and I'm planning on going 16 x 7 in front and back. They have +42 offset. Will they be ok on an '00 Civic Si?

Good choice of wheel... with a 7" wide wheel, a +42mm offset is actually about perfect.

Like Reaper said, that is just about perfect on a Civic. I have 15x7 +32 on mine, and they fit no problem, so you won't have any trouble.

And good choice on getting a 99-00 Si, it'll be nice to have another fellow EM1 owner on here! What color are you getting? When I went looking for mine, I didn't want anything but blue. I do like all colors though, just biased to blue.

I'm looking for a blue one. I like the other two colors it comes in too, but i have my heart set on blue. I love your signature picture btw, thats awesome. I am ready to buy one, but i can't find one with low-ish miles in Minnesota. I was talking to a guy in Northern Minnesota who was selling a blue Si with 111000 miles and all stock, but somebody bought it before i could go look at it.

Electron Blue Pearl is definitely one of Honda's best paint colors to date

Honestly, as long as the car runs fine and looks fine, I wouldn't put too much weight on mileage... it is a honda, after all The big thing is to find out if oil changes and whatnot have been done on time. Unfortunately, unless the car was dealer-serviced, you'll have to take the owner's word for it (and really, who's going to admit they regularly skipped oil changes? lol).

ok thanks guys. Another thing im concerned with is the tire width. I definately don't want my tires stretched. I hate that. So how wide should my tires be on a 7 inch wide wheel?
