Re: rota grid on 98 civic
as far as "fit" what do you mean- you'll have to roll the fenders, and adjust that camber a bit, and depending on the offset might need a spacer/ext wheel studs.
I came into a deal for some 16x9 +30 rims. when put on noticed the inside of the rim was pressed up against the trailing arms- 5mm spacer helped that- then had to go with extended wheel studs as well. Camber kit comes in soon- even at that, they didn't poke out as bad as it seems. this is on a em1 btw.
i can pm you pictures if you'd like.

Re: rota grid on 98 civic
why do you need a 9" wide wheel?!
if you were to shrink your size both height and width, then you might be able to actually find wheels that can fit

You can low offset on these cars, but it will require quite a bit of negative camber, and fender rolling.
And that point, your ****ing up the car just to put these peice of **** wheels on it. Is it really worth it?

Re: rota grid on 98 civic
lmfao!! thats exactly what im saying .. what is the max offset and width i can go without having to roll my fenders or adjust the chamber and all that good stuff.?? i would like to get a 17x9 only cause they had the offset and look i wanted .. seems to me that the smaller the tire and rim the less agressive it looks.. i just want a rim that is gonna look like the ones in the link i posted .. i am planning on getting a 16x7.5 but cant find any with an offset i like

Re: rota grid on 98 civic
17x9 +20 would look right on an EVO or something, but not a civic. You'd have a tough time making them work, and it would be hellanonfunctional. I put 16x8 +38 on my '99 and it looks very aggressive, and the wheels don't stick out past the fenders.

There is everything outrageous with a 9" wide wheel on a gas sipping econo-box compact car.
Will it fit? Sure. Will it function? No.
You're basically asking whether or not a hot-dog will fit through the eye of a needle. Will it fit? Sure. But it won't be pretty.
P.S. And you can't have a delicious hot-dog with onion and spicy brown mustard afterward. At least not with any composure.
