Question Legend coupe -92 stock offset?

Hi there!

Please tell me what is the stock offset of Honda/Acura Legend coupe -92 wheels?

I'm going to buy 17" wheels and tyres. Tyre size is 225/55/17.
Dia of this tyre is about 680mm and the stock tyre dia is 648mm.
Do you think that this is little bit too big tyre for Legend?

Offset of these 17" wheels are 50mm. I think this is ok but make me sure also for this.

Thanks for your help!

Legend driver from Finnland

How wide is the wheel? +50mm sounds like a great offset. Stock wheels have a +60mm or was it +65mm. It was one of the two I will search for the answer real quick. Welcome! From Finnland...wow!

Edit - It is +65mm. As for the tire...225/55 seems like a lot of sidewall. I suggest maybe 215/45.

Stock offset is +65mm. That +50mm will be fine. However those tires seem too tall. Try:

215/45/17
225/45/17
235/45/17 (x7.5" or x8" wheel)
205/50/17
215/50/17
225/50/17 (I personally wouldn't get this size, but it may suit u)

Thanks for your quick ansvers! Yes from Finnland, winter is over and must change winter tyres
to summer ones! Great sites and lot of great Legends you have there!

The wheel are 7" wide so I think the wheel is ok but I must take a little bit smaller tyre to awoid the off road look

The reason why I recommend 215/45-17 is because the diameter of the tire matches that of the stock tires. 205/60-15 has a 24.69" diameter. 215/45-17 has a 24.62" diameter. So this tire set up will not affect the speedometer reading. You don't have to do that though. If you want wider tires, get wider tires.
