i was thinking of buyin a set of wheels for my car which is an ex civic coupe. the offset of the wheel is +38 i was wanderin if any body has had a problem with that offset b/c the brakes on the ex are bigger than the others. and all my other wheels have been +42

offset of the wheel has nothing to do with what brakes will fit or not. Offset of the wheel determines how far out the wheel will be placed in relation to the hub. Higher offsets (like+42) will be places further inward, and lower offsets (+32 and lower) will stick out more.

Check out the miata forum, someone, or me i think. posted a miata with 0 offset wheels. They stick out rather far

who makes the 0 offset wheels? A lot of companies make various offsets, I definetely would NOT get anything less than +32 for your civic
