Rims, 16x8 Options

[Defgeph]

I think I'm going to install 16x8 inch rims, once I find something I like.
Whats offset would I be looking for with this set up.
Looking to be flush with the fenders.

Thanks

Jeff I would say stick with your bronze wheels....I used to love those on your car when you re-painted them.

With the money you'll save from buying another set of wheels you can buy an excellent set of like 215/40/17 tires or maybe even 225/40/17 for the added protection. True, your old 205/40/17's would be the same profile, but the added weight of the swap would probably make a 45 profile rub up front. Besides....if you look at Mercedes and new BMW's and what-not they use a very thin tire and give it surplus width for more grip and protection to the wheels over rough roads.

I personally think that something like the 225/40/17 would work great, considering you now have the Civic for the rougher roads around here and the Celica can be built no-compromises.
