I just put these on - Motegi Racing SP10 in hyperblack 18x8 with 225/40/18 Nitto Neogens. Only a couple pics because the car is dirty, it's raining, and it's getting dark.

I have HFP suspension on right now, and I also have a HFP front lip spoiler sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. Can't wait! More pics to come in the next couple weeks.

My GGM FA5 dropped on Eibach Sportlines with Gram Lights 57Maximum 17x7 from tirerack.com. Great deal, local price was 1800-2000, I paid something like 1400 shipped.



Still need the rear camber kits, but I'm cheap and kinda want a reason to buy new tires as is lol.

i went through a local motorsports shop in the area. if ure in southern california i would highly recommend ISLAND MOTORSPORTS becuz they've worked on a few 8th honda civics including mine. they have good reccommendations for a 17" rim fitment including the width and offset and tire size.

i went with an 18x7.5 because i didn't wanna have buyers remorse and be stuck with smaller rims than i wanted. 17's with the correct setup look chill tho. my 215/35-18's dont have much sidewall but the stretched look looks awesome. i could use a drop tho. if u go 18 w/o a drop i would recommend a 40 series tire

if u want flushness u can prolly go with a 17x8 45offset. i saw one at ISLAND and it was super flush!

FLUSHNESS AND STRETCH FTW!!!=]

I haven't weighed them yet, but when I was putting them on I noticed they're WAY lighter than the stock ones. If I had to guess I'd say definitely over 6lbs lighter for each wheel.

No drop yet, I think I'm gonna go with Eibach prokit springs though.
