Wheel offsets for 3G

[Tennessee]

Not really specific but can someone splain to me what "offset" means in regards to wheel offsets. There is a set of Rotas on eBay - 4x100 lugs so good there but it says there is a 40mm offset and I have no clue what that means. :confused:

Also - whats offsets would be in range for a 3G 90s?

3rd Generation Stock = 5.5" Wide Wheel w/ +45mm

Those Rotas that have 40mm offset are fine for your car, what kind of Rotas?

Blue 16's on Ebay today. There are some red wheels as well that would look ungodly cool on my red car - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43956&viewitem=&item=300162804654&_trksid=p3907.m29

yeah those drags are basically a rota GT3 knock off, they're still good rims though, i thought about buying the gold ones for a while for my lude but then i found the voxx rims that i have and fell for them! i still might do it later on down the road becasuse i know i can always get my money back out of them by selling them to a civic owner around here!

Those 16 x 7 rims at 40mm should be just fine for your car.
