Default Someone please HELP... 35mm offset??

Hello to everyone, Im new here and i bought my 01 s2k in july.

Ive always had civics and i didnt have to really understand all this offset and stuff.

I found a set of rims that i like alot and the offset it 35. The front is a 18x8.5 and the rear is a 18x9.5. I am running stock ride heigth and plan to do so for a while. Will these wheels fit and look ok?

Thanks in advance to anyone that may can help me on this.
Thomas

They will look very good, most likely, but you will have to modify your fenders and rear quarter panels if you want to keep them from rubbing.



My rears are +35, and I've seen others with +35 offset Blitz Type 01's, for example, but you will deff. want to modify the car a bit to prevent damage.

and dont forget that youre going to need to run a decent amount of camber. i would say 3.5 all around will do the trick

Ok, When you say modify them im guess your talking about rolling the fenders? Im not sure of how to do that and i want to be really careful to not mess anything up. I read on how to relocate the bumper tap but idk how to roll the fenders. Any advise on tire size? I was thinking maybe 225-40-18 in the front and 255-35-18 in the rear

with stock ride height you have nothing to worry, but you will look like a 4x4 truck.

I'm running +35 regas front and rear and dont have too many problems. i had to roll my fenders and should have trimmed my bumper. it has a inside lip that would rub some, but it rubbed away.

Ok thanks. How did you go about rolling yout fenders? and what tire size are you running??


I dont understand why its going to look like 4x4 truck if i run the right size tireon it to evan out the difference in wheel size? Like a 255-35-18 is almost the exact same height as a 225-50-16. so the way i see it i would think it would look the same as it does now just a little bigger rim and a little smaller tire? same height?
