15 x 7 Rota Slipstreams - Whats the best offset with no mods

- Thu Mar 16, 2017 5:09 am #361359 Ok. I have been searching all kinds of threads and I found nothing that tells me about which offset is best. I've seen countless posts showing off their 15 wheels but no one seems to disclose their offset :?

Im looking to buy a set of 15 x 7 slipstreams, with stock height.
I dont want to modify my fenders or use spacers
I dont want to deal with any rubbing

My current set up:

94 Civic EG hatchback
Stock shocks
Stock Height
Polyurethane bushings all around
GSR front sway bar
24mm rear sway far


When shopping around I pretty came down with 2 options for 15 x 7 wheels +35 and +40
They both look the same from pictures that I have seen.
Feedback anyone? +35 or +40?

Regamaster EVO's 15x6.5 +45

I'm relatively new to wheels so here's the story:
After doing a lot of research I found out that Rota Slipstreams have always been replicas of Regamaster SW388 / EVO wheels, which I never knew since I havent paid attention to the wheel world up until recently.

I decided to go with the authentic JDM ones for a few reasons:
1) Regamasters are forged instead of cast so they are stronger
2) They weight 8.6 lbs (3.88 kilos) compared to Slipstreams (11.9 lbs) so they are 3.3 lbs lighter and that means a lot to me in the long run because Im still running a D15B7 engine so any weight savings I can get helps out with my fuel economy.

When I went from heavy cast aluminum 16" wheels (almost 20 lb each) to lightweight HX wheels (13 lbs each) I definitely noticed the difference. Rotational mass is a big deal on these small cars. :thumb:
