I got some winter wheel / tire combo lieing around & was wondering if...

RTX Hemlock wheels 18", 5X114.3, with +42 offset with Bridgestone Blizzak 225 50 R18 tires on them

Do you think these'd fit on a civic?

(*the wheel / tires are left over from my old Caliber SRT4, figure I can't sell them for what I paid, & am looking for a new vehicle, thinking about a Civic now)

Thoughts?

Sweet, thanks for the reply mang

I got rid of the Caliber SRT4 - fast f-ing car, but build quality is Sh!t, thing was rattling apart by the time I got rid of it (27 months old)

I miss the boost, but glad to be outta the rattly-harsh ride

I'm in a CRV for now till Dec, going into a new vehicle then, thinking Civic if the wheels fit (paid around $3K for wheel/tire combo, I'd hate to see them go to waste)

ok a few things i see wrong here.
snow tires, on 18" rims? any reason why? most peopel get tehm on the smallest rims possible that fit the car. mostly for financial reasons and that no one whats to use special rims in winter weather.

225 snow tires isnt the best. for this car. the narrower the better. look into 215 or even 205

the 50 sidewall on that tire will be a littel too large. id confidently say you will rub the **** out of your fenders.

with that said, i went back and re-read your post. lol. i see you already have these laying around. i shoudl of read better.

but even then, your looking at cars based on what these rims/tires will fit? isnt that kind of dumb. take the loss on the rims, sell them and get a car you really want.

I had to get 18" wheels to fit over the huge PBR Brakes on my CSRT4, stupid a$$ large brakes, I had to test fit 4 different 18" wheels w/ various offsets to find the proper fit

I've been on the fence about selling them, but if I can just find a car to throw them on (*ex: I am driving a CRV now, they fit) but I want a stick car again, hate driving autobots. Also, I spent close to $3k on the wheels/tires & i will definitely lose money on them, but they are still in new coniditon, so I may as well keep'em if i can (*FYI I am really not picky when it comes to what care I get next, either way it'll be a lease and I'll be keeping it max 4 years, last lease was just 24 months, I get bored of cars quick)

The lease on my CRV is up Dec of this year, so I just contacted my dealer and am getting a quote on a 2010 Civic Si Sedan Black w. the aero package (dealer says they can eat the last two months of payments I have remaininig, we'll see if they actually 'eat them' or roll them into the deal.)

If the Hemlock RTX wheels fit, they'd look sick (*definitely look like a 4x4, and the speedo will be off, but sick non the less)

Anybody here have a pic of the factory aero package? :pics: (Online I can only really find the Mugen Kit, and a HPF kit <- i'm not sure which it is)

If the dealer comes back with a decent price I will likely be in a civic shortly. After that the modding bug will likely, nothing like modding a leased vehicle :bunny: (gonna start with just the easy stuff, intake, ecu. It's been awhile since I've messed around with a NA engine, should be fun)

The CSRT4 build quality wass SH!T so I just walked from that lease, if the Civic holds up, i think I'll take advantage of the buyout option at the end of the lease, i consider leasing as a feeler period, where you get to learn the car, if you like it, you purchase it (or buy a used one, depending on the buyout price :wigglesmiley:)

I saw someone in the flush'd thread running 18"x 8"wide w/ 225 45 r 18s (*he looked dropped)

I'm actually tempted to bring a wheel to the dealer and get them to test fit the wheels :wheee:

...probly going to be too lazy,

Still waiting to hear back from my salesguy, figure I'll end up going into the civic si & test fit the wheels, if they dont fit they'll be going onto Kijiji shortly after
