don't know..but one of the member on this forum have that rim.. the TORK IMAGINE..he have 19's though...don't know his offset...but the TORK IMAGINE in 18's are sold out.. what you think the offset that will actually rub??

**Tim** · 03-07-2007, 12:37 AM

It does depend on your tire choice. But if you stick with an offset close to stock 45mm +/- 3mm , you shouldn't have any problems.

strCIVIC · 03-07-2007, 06:52 PM

tork imagine are sold out...called 2 other wheel retailer and they are out... i'm prolly going with the ROta D2's 17x7.5 +35.. 215/40/17 shouldn't be a problem right??wanna have that deep dish look..

**Tim** · 03-07-2007, 07:24 PM

Shouldn't be a problem at all.

strCIVIC · 03-08-2007, 03:11 PM

the +35 should clear out the brake calipers right???

hey guys, i have a question, i found these rims.. http://www.subydude.com/osc/product_...23c20d6ce6d9fe

they only have 18x8 +48 offset, i know they might fit the Si coupe, but will I have any problems, like rubbing??

***ILL FG2*** · 03-19-2007, 04:02 AM

That offset is fine, but it says that they're for subarus, and I think some subarus are 5x100 bolt pattern.

yeah, some of the rota's are 5x100, but for the 05+, the suby's come with 5x114.3 but they only have 18x8 +48 (5x114.3), so if i get that and mount 225/40/18 tires, my car is not lowered yet but might do it later. I should be good though?

yeah u will be fine .. but make sure to get the hub rings since the centerbore of the subies is diff then the civics

I know 18 x 8.5 rims will fit with a 225/40/18 setup and a Eibach Sportline Drop (1.4") without any rubbing because of this thread:

Rays/Gram Lights 57F installed

However, I'm concerned that a 225 tire will not be wide enough to protect the lip of my wheels. (Look at the pictures, the rim is out farther than the tire). So this leads me to my question:

So far, I have no suspension modifications at all. This means 18 x 8.5 with a 235/40/18 tire should work fine correct? Now the trickier question is, do you think this setup would allow for the same Eibach Sportline drop? If not, then do you think a HFP, Eibach Pro or Tein H-Tech (all approx 1") would work?

Thanks guys

BubzSI · 03-24-2007, 04:20 PM

Will this work?

Size: 17 x 7.5 +35, 5x114.3

Im almost positive, but will the Stock SI Tires fit on a 7.5" Rim?

exhaust_note · 03-26-2007, 01:19 AM

Ive been having mixed info thrown at me. Im trying to find out if a 17x8 +55 offset will fit on Si Sedan.

Comptech USA has 18x8 w/ a +55 offset and says that they will fit the new Si. So technicaly, if Comptech is correct. A 17x8 +55 offset wheel should work.
http://www.comptechusa.com/store/760040.html

This should be 18x8 +55 as i found it on the Comptech website.

If anyone has any info. please help with this.

Razor4ever · 03-26-2007, 02:38 PM

Will these fit my 2007 Si ??
