i was looking at some rims that i wanna buy but cant figure out if they would fit on my car.

the rims are 16x7 5x114.3 and a 6.4mm offset.

does anyone know if this offset would fit an 04 ep3 si

Is your car lowered? and what tire specs would you be running?

6.4mm offset is low. I think that will poke out hardcore.

You sure the offset is 6.4 mm because that sounds kind of odd?

I don't like black wheels in general. Especially on our SSM. Offset is really high IMO.

boooo I have black wheels :mcry:

Anyways what kind of look are you trying to do on the car? More flush? wider wheel? blah blah blah If you pick one maybe we can help more? I know wheels with a +35 or +38 look pretty flush on our cars.

Oh and +48 isn't that high, our stock wheels are +45 I think? The rsx wheels I'm using are +45 and they are fine, I also added a 5mm spacer to push them out a bit.

dang thats pretty flush. You might want to try going through the member rides threads and looking for guys who have setups like that. Most of the time they have their wheel/suspension specs posted up.

when it comes to modding. nothing is ever cheap unless you keep searching and waiting for deals on other honda forums or our marketplace. good luk.

ps: you never stated how much your looking to spend on rims.

pss: are you 4 lug or 5 lug? i might know someone selling some hella flush rims set up in a few weeks.
