Guy/Gals..  I've searched already.  Just looking for confirmation and not condemnation.

Just bought a 2016 2wd extended cab with 16k miles.  Beautiful truck...with zero lift or level.  For right now I need to fill up the wheel wheels just a little better than the stock wheel/tire combo.   I want to go with a 20" wheel and a larger tire.  From what I've read, the 275x60R20 might fill the hole and not rub...but at what wheel offset?

I'm trying to move up to a 9" wide wheel from a stock 17x7.5.  Maintaining the 31 offset of the OEM wheel puts the extra 1.5 inches on the brake side.  It would seem (although I'm a newbie) that I'd be better served dropping to a +18 or +12 offset to better "balance" the width and avoid rubbing inside or outside. 

Anybody with experience or knowledge...give me your 2 cents.  It might save me a few hundred bucks...

I did the +18 20x9 and they still rubbed, I’m very happy now with my 20x9 +1 offset zero rubbing

Where are you guys rubbing at, mud flap? And how bad?

Does anyone else have problem with only rubbing one side?

I see. Good thing I went with -12 instead of +18. But yeah I rub on the passenger side only. When in reverse. I have like 1/8” on the driver side. I wonder if that’s normal....

Everyone’s Suspension moves one side during backing up. Recommend strapping back liner or I’ve heard heat gun will do it too

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
