Picture request plzzz

Trying to decide my fitment.
1. Yes Ive searched here, google, hondatech, etc.
2. Yes I understand about offset and rubbing...mostly

Just want to see if anyone has some more examples.
Trying to go for a more flush look. Possibly staggered (damn rear tuck)
Not hellaflush/stanced to hell JUST....flush

Looking for:
16x7 , 16x8 , 17x7 , 17x8
all offsets between +35 and +40

tytytytytyty in advance

Ok what I have are DR-33's from Discount Tire I run 205/40ZR17 lowered with Drop Zone Springs and I have no rubbing issues. I'm actually looking to go to 18's if 225/40ZR18's will fit w/o rubbing.

I have no idea what offset they are just that they were ordered for a 97 Civic DX. Here are pics of my setup.

This last one is prior to lowering but shows how "Flush" the front is. It's flush till the body lines come back in! The back look flush but I think I need a 5mm spacer to match the front. I hope this helps in some way.

Well thank you Ray, much appreciated. Im thinking, just by looking, you are somewhere around +40 offset, which is what im looking for. Oh and by the way, your car is looking good

according to this Drag Wheels. Extreme Alloys. | DR-33 (GUN METAL, GLOSS BLACK, SILVER)

they come in either 42mm or 45mm offsets.

personally, Ray... with what you have on your car and the way it looks, I'd rather have to front go in a few mm instead. too bad the only way to do that is to have higher offset wheels and THEN add a spacer in the back.

Of course, this is purely my aesthetic opinion. in terms of function, just the way you have it now would be fine.

20lbs for a 17"??? that's one heavy wheel
1:1 ratio is considered light... the lighter the better.

Mine were a budget choice back when I had my Civic. Then I went and bought my Fit. Neither car were meant for performance at the time. If I ever get to go that route I'll go coil overs and ultra light 15's. For now its just looks. They might slow me down but they do handle great especially with the springs.
