Default How & what to modify to get deeper dished wheels to fit. help me...

I really like the look of deep dished rims. I think on a civic it would look sick. the hubs would have to be pushed in. this will require major modification i think. but i dont know much about civic suspension. it's all so much smaller then what im used to working on. Also since the location on the wheel where the hub will bolt on will be farther in it will be harder to fit larger diameter wheels right? Any comments, or ideas?

just roll your fender or pull your fenders like the 240 guys do

eh, i want to keep the fenders stock. I just want to push the hubs in, this way the the face of the wheel is in real deep but the diameter of the wheel and tire are still flush with the fender. kind of like on a concept car drawing where the wheels are sucked in.

no because that would require the hubs to be closer to the middle than they currently are and that would be a lot of work.

Dude you cant mess with the suspension geometry. Thats alot of work and it would make you car handle like *****. I say rolling the fenders is prolly the only way youll be able to do it. I was thinkin of puttin my car on dishes actually.
