Flame on if you like. Just for people looking to go really aggressive. I don't intend on driving on these, just for example purposes.

18x8 +22 offset with 245/40/18 tires.


Edit: In case anyone asks, these are Sparco NS-6R.

 

Any clearance issues or rubbing?

 

Sick bro...

Like the red.

 

they look better on the 350

 

Are those the wheels you had on your Z?

Probably with 245s... lol With 215s maybe not. That's a big maybe.

Edit: Yes, spare wheels I had on the Z, I have my 19s back on.

I would definitely run a higher offset then. +22 is way too aggressive for the Civic.

This is Mugen Kid over on the other site. He is running 245/40/17 on a 17x9 wheel +40 offset. 235s would definitely fit.

 

^ he said he had to do some cutting to make it fit ...but it looks so sick!

OP...any more pics at different angles?

 

235/40 18's not 17's. im already running 235's now. but i want to step up to an 18" wheel.

He shaved off the back of the wheel making it +40 when originally it was +35.

I can see the 245s fitting in my front fenders with a higher offset. Maybe run 35 series?

I will be running Work wheels that are 18x7.5 +32 soon, will post pics once those are on. Haven't decided on tires yet.

 

im currently running 235/40-17 on a 17x7.5 +43 offset.

i did the math and running a 235/40-18 on a 18x8 +44 is only 1mm closer to the suspension then my current setup.

so i should be good.

what i really want to run is 17x8.5 +47 or +50
245/40-17 front
225/45-17 rear
but it seems i may make contact with the front suspension.
it may only be possible with a really stiff suspension.

the 245's will be 9mm closer to the suspension then my current setup.

I'm assuming the staggered setup is for track purposes. I don't have a whole lot of track experience.

 

yup. im gonna have to put my ce's back on and take measurements.

 

im going for something like this. 17x9 35 offset + 15mm spacer. and im really going to need an adjustable suspension. since theres really nothing else out, it looks as if ill be stuck with tein flex's

 

My Sparcos stuck out about that much as well. My car was too low so I couldn't roll on them.

Could use some 15mm spacers.

 

every time I see the scion box, they always have rims!!! why is that? is that an option when u buy the car?

Don't forget that the car pictured has like a ~ -3° fixed camber! If not more.
