The one that will fit. How's that for a stupid answer?
Now do you have something SPECIFIC you want to ask?

BTW there is a Wheel & Tire forum for this.

My concern is this you can put a wide rim if you want but the problem is the front, how can you maneuver well better put a little wide than the normal

sorry messed up where i meant to put it, (if a mod could move it)

more SPECIFIC o, I'm looking at getting a set of BBS Rs's and i wanna put some wider lips on them and wider barrels

what would the widest possible be without rubbing or cutting ?

cause my original thought would be 10's or 11's in the rear with 10 or 9/9.5 up front

11"? No way in west hell. Only a few have gotten 10" You'll be tasked for 8" or 9".

240s are rear wheel drive are they not? You're not getting anywhere near 12" Not even with rolled fenders, stretched tires and crazy camber.

Yeah i read that, that's why i was thinking 10's would be simple with rolled fenders.

If i cant ill run 9's but ill attempt a 10's but if not im guessing the suggested size is 9's or 9.5's

What would you guys suggest for a simple wide wheel.

and yes the 240 is rear wheel without trying u can tuck 12's under that, i sold them anyways along with the car it was getting to be a money hog so civic should be simple lol.

If you read that...what is the point of this thread? Glorified spoon fed awnsers to you?

240's and civic's are in a completely different ballpark...hell not even the same sport.

So you read it? Did you not believe what you read? In your future there will be fender flaring and rolling, ridiculous camber, stretched tires and puzzled looks. This aint no Nissan.

And somehow you thought an 11" was a possibility? It sounds like you already know that you're not going to pull this off and maybe you're hoping maybe SOMEbody would come along and tell you that you can.

You can get a hideous widebody kit and run as wide as you want.

my first though was 10's or 11's, but looking around i saw mostly 9's and 8's for civics.

so my thinking was 9.5 or 10's would just fit, with rolled fenders (kinda normal when u roll nissan for awhile)

thats why i asked
