Im buying 18" for my civic, I already have 17x7 and they go right to the edge of my fender, but all I"m finding is 18x7.5 rims, does anyone else have 18x7.5 rims ON A CIVIC, i have a 93 coupe. please let me know what you think. thanks

 

You may want to change your original post; asking the majority of HT members about what they think about putting 18" wheels on Civic is going to be nothing short of hell. But you are going to be looking to have some issues with such a wide wheel and tucking the wheel in the fender wall if the car is dropped and having it look right.

 

Yea, i use to have them, but i got rid of them. I'd rather have smaller ones....15's...16's. just what i like though. plus the whole ideal or it making the rotational mass greater....therefor losing power to the ground. just something to keep in mind. i think stock tires are at 22. something inches? with tire.





Edit: to what the guy before me said....mine wasn't dropped at the time. that was back in like 2001. so i dont know how it will be if its dropped.

No kidding, they will cause nothing but problems for you.
Just stick with the 17's... those are ballin-enough for a civic right?

 

dude sell ur 17's and get some bad *** 16's with nice tires and u will look nicer!!
but if u decide to go wirh the 18's good luck!!

 

booooooooo 18's are so 1999..sike j/k they are bad tho they will tear your tranny up and they are big a dumb

 

get 22's y0!

heh. You'll be fine with 18's although I don't recomend it. Try and get a really low profile tire ( 35 ) and make sure they're light. Mind you your tach will not show the right speed.

Your tachometer doesn't read or show your speed...


As for the original posters question... Rim size choice depends on what you plan to use the car for... i personally have a set of 18's on my 2004 Coupe but only because i am not racing it ever and just want the wheel wells filled with rim... if you plan on drag racing,or auto-x... 18's are a horrible choice...

 

You are an asshat.

As I said on your HMT post, sell the 17's, get some steelies (or mugen knock offs if you're not gangsta enough for steelies), and invest in a turbo kit

 

I &lt;3 HMT

 

lol 18's.... bro if you get 15's or 16's you will have much more room to dump your car, which will overall look way way better. dont get 18's

 

my boy has 18s on his 98 2 door with coilovers... its clean, never had a problem with his tranny... go for it if you like it

 

ewww dont do that

 

when i bought my em1 it had 19 racing harts....yeah

i put on a set of 205/40/17 and they look nice.

 

18" rub and are real wide

 

hahahahahahahahahahahaha........18s on a civic....WHY?!!!???

 

wow, why? get 15s or 16s. 18s are to common with ricers and are very heavy with all that extra metal.

 

might as well get a widebody kit and a 5 ft aluminum spoiler to go with those 18s ...
but seriously what would possess someone to put 18s on a civic? Thats like .. nevermind

 

^^^ ouch. Damn a wing and those rims would be SIZICK

 

Dont get the 18's, too big for a civic. It might rub.

Stick with your 17"s if you want big rims, if not get some 16" wheels for better performance

 

Dont forget to get a roof scoop to cool down your rear mounted engine and a 3' wing to keep your rear end planted firmly on the ground when driving over 150 mph.

What do we think? Its stupid, thats what.
