You need to understand offset. Do you?

17's are too big in my opinion for the 92-00 Civics.

Yes, running lower than stock offset is do-able, but thats when camber comes into play. Do some googling, or reading up on offsets and what it actually means. Stock is +44 or so

Maybe im trying to explain what I want wrong im not sure seems like people are just using wheel spacers from what I've seen. My car is not lowered just factory suspension.just want wheels to stick out lol.

The silver ones look like lower offset. The portion that bolts to the car looks more sunken in.

The red car just has normal stock offset wheels. I still dont understand what you are asking exactly.
