guys what is the right offset for a civic ek9 2000 model.All i know mines a 5 stud but dnt know the rest :)

thanks
 
for better looks i think you can go down to as far at 42mm. i believe anything lower you will rub, but its nothing a little more camber cant fix.
 
Offset of whatever wheel you're purchasing depends on the width of the wheel. Offset is really what determines how much of the wheel is more towards the inside or more towards the outside the hub.

The stock EK9 wheel is only 6 inches wide so they put a lot more meat towards the inside with a +50 offset. 7 inch wide wheels, the neutral area is around +40.

Yes you right !
Does exist any exception for OEM CTR Wheels with 43mm offset anywhere like the Civic Type Rx 2000 have couple exception or option. And also the CTR in europe are not exactly the same as japan CTR.
I'm sure that my OEM CTR wheel have an offset of 43mm. I'm gonna check !
Anyone know ?
 
15x6 +50 offset for most of the EK9 line, which was JDM only. The "race base" EK9, sold to race teams, came with steelies meant for temporary use.

depends how low you have it. thats the wheels i have on mine and it only just catches the front and its lowered a good 40mm.

for 16x7 id go for 215/45/16 should have loads of grip then.
