Hi everyone, I know similar things have been asked but I've searched and didn't really find what I was looking for. I'm fairly new to the suspension/wheel/tire area of cars and need a little help on fitment. I have an EJ8 (2000 civic ex) and I'm about to get some wheels that are 16x7.5 et 25 on the front and 16x9 et 25 in the rear. The tires are 205/40r16's. I have an eibach pro suspension kit with sportline springs (1.5/1.7 inch drop all around) and was wondering if this combo would work/look absolutely retarded? Thanks!
Anyone? </3

Re: 16x7.5 / 16x9 Wheels?
Why on earth would you put wider wheels on the non drive axle? Ignoring that, why run staggered wheel sizes and the same tire size?
It might work, with rubbing, due to the low offset. It will look absolutely retarded with a stretched tire on incorrectly staggered wheels.
And this is what a 205/40-16 looks on a 16x9
