Im looking into these Moda M2 rims for my Coupe EX that are 18x8. Would those fit on my car?

I've got no suspension mod's on my car ATM.

PK- · 02-13-2007, 02:46 PM

^ same question as above, but its 18x8 with 48 offset, guna fit?

Hondahawaii777 · 02-13-2007, 03:19 PM

Offset of 38 with 17x7.5 wheels on a 1.5" drop works great...

Thanks, I updated the first page.

Anyone else have offsets and sizes that work?

SiCali · 02-13-2007, 08:46 PM

i'm planning to get some 18x8.0 w/ 42mm offset, i'm not sure which tire to go for tho atm.

***Tim*** · 02-13-2007, 08:58 PM

Stock suspension? I would guess that with stock suspension, most people can get away with wheels from 16-20" and widths 7-8.5" and on tires 215-225 treadwidth and with offsets from 35-55 mm. If we can get more people to contribute what they've found to work for them, we'll have a better idea.

SiCali · 02-13-2007, 09:03 PM

my final setup will be an HFP kit (~1"drop) w/ 18x8.0 w/ 42mm offset on 215/40/18. this will all happen in about 3 months or so lol

***sh33t_0f_p4p3r*** · 02-18-2007, 11:32 AM

wow, i still dont understand....... Lol soo.... 17x7 with 40mm offset will work with stock or lowered? and is the thread size? 12x1.5???

***Tim*** · 02-18-2007, 11:05 PM

17x7 with 40 mm offset should work on both lowered and stock. It's only 5 mm different from the OEM offset.

Dunno where you're getting a 12x1.5 thread size.

baskero · 02-19-2007, 12:18 AM

Probably. They'll look pretty good, too.

With no suspension upgrades, it probably will. What size tire?

Razor4ever · 03-06-2007, 12:28 PM

Im considering of buying the 5zigen gn's and Im thinking what size would be the best. I dont want bling bling big ass rims, just a normal size. What would You all recommend me 17's or 18's??

Oh and I cant use low profile tieres, euro roads ftl.

Is that a European Civic? What style is it?

If you're driving on rough roads, you probably want more rubber. Stick with a 17" or maybe even a 16" wheel.
