Do you know what offset means, or are you just asking questions?

I would go with something that closely matches the stock offset. 17's are little too big IMO, but whatever floats your boat.

I rolled with 17s on a 2000 Civic, similar to yours. The ride was rough and it took longer to stop. I would run with 16s, max.

I answered your question, didn't I?

I apologize for asking a question while answering yours. I am sorry you took it to be offensive. I will no longer post within any of your threads. Sorry for the post in a public forum.
