Haha, good luck.

First of all with wider wheels and tires in the rear you would create a lot of understeer (aka handles like crap). Secondly with 8.5"+ wide wheels you have to be careful if you are lowered, odds are you would run into clearance issues with your spring and strut, especially if you are lowered on coilovers, and in that case you would have to change your springs and modify the strut collar. And even then you still have to be careful with you tire choice and camber specs.

And just FYI, no one has fit anything larger than a 9" wheel on a 8thgen without a wide body kit. And the few that are running 9's are either stretching tires, running a lot of camber, rolled their fenders, modified their suspension or have done some combination of all of these.

Yeah, IMO it would probably look worse than stock because with that higher offset it would be more sunken into your wheel wells than the stock wheels are already.

The HFP suspension offers a very subtle drop, you could clear much more aggressive wheels than 17 x 7 +48's.

i don't care if it looks worse, what effect would it have on handling?

[dnbsi]

btw, we're talking about a fraction of an inch. how could anyone tell they're more sunken in than stock? 3mm difference, it takes 25mm to make an inch.

I dont kno if this has been answered but will a 17x8.5 +35 fit on a sedan
oyea 225/45/17 tire

i have no drop yet but planing at least an inch and a half drop in the near future

Thanks

It all depends, tires play a big role in handling and if you went with an OEM sized tire, there probably wouldn't be any noticeable change in handling. If you went with a bigger tire with more grip than stock than you would improve handling.

And I know how how many mm's are in an inch but thanks. Regardless of how small of a difference it is, the OEM wheels are still too sunken in IMO, and going with a higher offset no matter how small the difference only looks worse.

With a 35mm offset you probably wouldn't run into any inner clearance issues unless you were running a huge tire, but on the flip side, you wouldn't be able to run a wide tire because it would rub like crazy on the fender, in fact you would almost definitely have to stretch tire to clear your fender and even with a stretched tire and a shit load of negative camber you still might have issues.

pics? of hfp with 18's or 19's ?

[Aeth SI]

Ok, how about stock SI suspension with 18 x 8" 40 offset and 225/40's?

On stock suspension that shouldn't be a problem at all. H+owever if you were lowered you would probably have run a decent amount of negative camber.

I am looking to upgrade my stock setup. I am planning on going with the 5zigen ZR+520, 17X8 +42, with the stock 215/45/17. First, is there any issues with that setup. I plan on lowering on s-techs in the future. Second, could I use the +35 offset? What would be the issues?

[J-StarR]

Has anyone been able to fit 16x8 rims out there on their Si? If so, what size tires did you use? And what offset?

[ige_santos]

does anyone have any idea if this would fit a 2008 civic 4dr? the specs of the rims are 19 x 8J 5x114.3 bolt pattern with an offset of +55. please message me.. and if i need spacers could you recommend me a good brand. thanks

hi does anyone know if 17x7.5 48mm offset works or 17x8 48, 47, 35 offset work?

I'm lowered 1.6 inch front and back on Neuspeed Sport Springs. 18x8 with 48offset and 225/40/18 would be good?

[Overdosedvtec]

Does any1 kno if 2005 s2k wheels would fit a fg2??? I kno tha fronts are good im not too sure bout tha back ones??? Lemme kno

[07Sivic]

Read somewhere that this would work ok but I just want to clarify since the first post does not have it listed.

2007 Si Coupe

Im currently sitting on stock Si wheels with 225/45/17 Yokahama AS430s. I was looking at purchasing some wheels that are 17x7 +42mm (Motegi DP6) and also plan to drop 1.5"ish with one of the better eibach spring kits and using spc rear and front camber kits.

Anyone see a problem with this? or am I good to go?

[nastynogales]

dt07si - thanks for all ur help!!

Another question: 18x8 +33 offset going on 225/40/18 w/ 1"drop (eibach pro kit) - any issues?

Most likely will rub specially when you hit a bump because of the offset. That will be a very aggressive set up. I would say +38 the most.

On stock suspension you could probably run a 225/45/17, but with s-techs i would probably run a 215/45/17. You could run a 17 x 8 +35 but you would definitely have to carefully choose a 215/45/17 (meaning no chunky Azenis's, Bridgestones, or Advans) and you would proabably have to run more negative camber to assure you have no rubbing issues.

I'm not sure 16's would clear the Si brake calipers, and IMO they certainly wouldn't look good. If you are considering 16's because you want something light weight, you can find 14 lb 17's and there not that pricey.

Complex is running 17 x 7.5 +48 TA TE37's, so yes it works. You would only run into clearance issues if you were really low and or running a big tire. I would advise against running a 17 x 8 +48, and +47 if you lower the car on coilovers. if you lower the car on springs or don;t lower the car at all +48,+47, and +35 would all work. For +35 read what I wrote above.

Yeah that should be fine.

No problem man!

As far as that size, I think you would be cutting it close. That is depending on how much negative camber you run, but either way I think 18 x 8 +33 might actually poke a little past the fender.

I agree 8" wheel + (+38mm offset) = sweet!

Didn't see this listed... 18x7.5 +32 Comptech drop 225/40/18 Falken ZE 912 on Si Coupe.

[SWFL06Civic]

How about a 18x7.5 +35 offset on a Sedan? Any issues
