Default '06 Civic LX wheel question:

Hi all.

This is my first post. I'm very wet behind the ears when it comes to Hondas. I currently have a new '06 Civic LX which I traded my 05 STI in for.

My question is whether the following wheels will fit/work on the Honda.

18x7.5 KONIG SPEC 114.3X5

I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern works. But official confirmation would be wonderful.

My next concern is the diameter and the width. Obviously I don't want any rubbing to occur.

Thank you in advance,

Jason

you shouldnt rub

however this all depends on the tire setup you choose and what suspension if any you decide to go with

i will not be doing suspension, it is a daily driver.

However, I would like some nicer wheels for it for apearance reasons.

I'm sure discount tire can find a tire for me that will compensate for the larger diamter wheel.

Thanks for the info!

Jason

theres is some loser on ClubSi (only on that site) rolling on DUBS in his civic... if he can roll on dubs.. you'll have NO ISSUES with 18s lol.. 'sides.. getting 18" rim is an option from the dealer.. (but i think thats only for the Si)

there was someone on here that lowered there civic (non-si) on 18" and said he gets a little rubbing action

IMHO, i think you could go with like tein h-tech, eibach pro kit, comptech springs. . . they are all very subtle drops just to kind of lessen the wheel gap and would work just great with 18" rim i think

That's great to hear...I feel a little more confident picking up the 18's now.

1. the civic on DUBS was just a pick found on the net NOT a members car
2. you can put 18's on and rub if the WRONG size tires are mounted
3.

Another question...does anyone know what the offset is on the 06 civics? the 18 X 7.5 wheels I am looking at have a 48 offset.

Thanks!
