bhoy · 05-03-2007, 03:48 PM

17s or 18s and would it look good on a Rallye Red.
i'm dropped with Eibach pro-kit.

***rippars*** · 05-03-2007, 04:05 PM

im dropped on pro kits and have 18x7.5 +43 with no problems.def looks great but 17's would perform better if you doing autox

Bootsie · 05-03-2007, 04:08 PM

18s for sure!

SiRyan · 05-03-2007, 04:10 PM

18" would b nice

1chin3s3_b0i · 05-03-2007, 08:35 PM

18s look so much better than 17s IMO.

bhoy · 05-04-2007, 10:19 AM

according to enkei's website 18s are 17lbs and 17s are 15.2lbs so either way its still better than stock. i guess i'm trying to find a balance between look and performance. i think i'll wait for more opinions since the vote is still split.

***ILL FG2*** · 05-05-2007, 04:32 AM

18's are too big for the fg IMO... They sell the rpf1's in 17x8 +35, perfect sizing.

Zesti1 · 05-05-2007, 03:14 PM

The ones on the Honda race car are 17's

wouldn't a 35 offset be flush with the fender?

Pretty much...

***ILL FG2*** · 05-05-2007, 03:50 PM

almost flush, but thats the closest offset they have

bhoy · 05-05-2007, 07:16 PM

i was thinking more on the 17x7.5 +48 with a 225/45-17 tire.

Blk4drSI · 05-05-2007, 07:17 PM

yeah, dropped on 17's looks the best. 18's dont look right on civics imo.

abs0lutexer0 · 05-05-2007, 08:10 PM

17s FTMFW!!! I thought about getting the RPF1s too, and powdercoating them gold.

bhoy · 05-05-2007, 08:22 PM
