[r1805]

Hi guys! I'm in the market for some wheels for a 2008 civic LX. I want to go with 18x8.5 with a 225/40/18 or wider what offset would work with this set up or any sugestions that can work. I want to stay as flush to the fender as posible. the car doesn't have a drop and i might not drop it if it looks right and if i do it would be a small drop. The wheels that I have in mind are

First chice: Volk TE37 Gun metal What offset? Tire size? Where to buy?
second: 57maximum bright silver Offset? tire?
3rd:5 zigen pro racer GN offset?

Please tell me what you guys think as far as my choice of wheels and if you guys have any sugestion please let me know.

+38 I believe, check the wheel fitment thread.

[Spencer@tirerack]

For your trim, I show the TE37 at a 18x7.5 et 48.

tire size would be either 215-40-18 or 225-40-18 without mods. some use 235-35-18, but you may need to roll fender lips to make it work

does that help?

if you order from TR, be sure to use the link on the site so the forum gets a cut! Call me if you need help as well, or please ref my name on the order if placed online through us.

thx!

This person on ebay is selling EX rims with tires. Maybe you should stick with OEM look?

hey! i think it was you who called today. if so, i specd out the direzza dz101 instead of the z1 sport. let me know if you need a new quote!

18x8.5" would fit fine with 225 tires as long as the offset wasn't any lower than I'd say 40. I'm running 18x8.5" +43 with 225/40's on my Si. I'm also lowered on s-techs and I've had no problems rubbing.

This shows how close to flush it is....

That is the exact look that i'm after.
Spencer was great help today, but I still need help deciding what wheel to buy? I think I narrowed it down to 3.

Please choose the one that you think I should buy. keep in mind that this is going on a silver LX I'm not sure on the color for the gram light wheel. what color should i go with?
The 5zigen would be hyper black

[bmcteg98]

I'd go with the middle one. It looks like the Optimise but I can't tell for sure because of the small picture. Regardless, thats what I have and I love them. As far as what color on silver, anything but gold or bronze. Good luck

Thanks bmc!
