whatever you do, DO NOT BUY 0 offsets. the lowest i'd consider on a 92-95 chassis is a +15 and even then you need to camber the wheels and roll your fenders. I think the ideal setup is like a 15x8 or 15x8.25 with +20 to a +25 offset. its just enough to fill the fenders with a 195/50/r15 tire and it only requires rolling the finders and little to no camber.

^^^ couldn't agree more. It comes down to how you want your car to look. If you want something 100% drivable, stick to an offset around +35 to +45. If you want to get into rolling renders slightly, then something around +25. In the end it also depends on your ride height and tire size.

Check this thread out for some different examples: http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=22491 :thumb:

also, I had those exact wheels with a +0 offset on my old hatch..my experience says don't do it bud. my car was boosted so I had no traction period but even then it was fender rubbing all over the place, tires wearing out fast with an alignment..couldn't have any weight in the car. its just a bad idea. i'd look in to something else if that wheel only comes in a 0. I might be able to dig up some pictures if you need me to. just say the word.

Looks like they come in 0 or +25. You can get by without too much fender rolling/pulling with a 15x8 +25, IF you're stretching the tire and have enough negative camber. But as said above, your car isn't going to handle as well is a higher offset setup.

Here's the 0 offset:

not worth ruining the sheet metal IMO.
