- Sat Feb 02, 2008 6:28 pm #40562 What size rims do you have now, and with a 2 inch drop most of your wheel gap will vanish!

- Tue Feb 05, 2008 1:55 am #40892 7.5" wide and 0 offset will still rub, even stretching your tires and rolling your fenders will still rub if you're low enough.

- Tue Feb 05, 2008 2:16 am #40898 What about getting some low profile tires?

Do you have stock struts or performance ones? If you take the time to put the springs on, mine as well get some performance struts (if you have the money to) since you're gonna be working in that area. Then it will ride good


Edit:

Ya 0 offset won't work. Reading owns me

- Tue Feb 05, 2008 2:37 am #40901 unless you're willing to roll/cut/maul your arches to death, thos 0 offset wheels will be damn near impossble to fit.

just for reference, most civics can run wheels up to a 30-35 offset. no less.

ive got a feeling u dont quite grasp the concept of wheel offsets do read up on offset and wheel measurement here:
