Default New rims for the Civic

I have an Black 08 Civic coupe EX and I'm looking to get these rims on it..


They are 18's, and my question is, if I put these on, will there be a humungous wheel gap? I don't want to have to buy suspension for it until the warranty runs out. If you can provide any imput, please try to help me out! Thanks

Stick with 17s and put a nice drop on your car. Will probably look better IMO.

u are gonna have a huge gap... I have a 08 si sedan and i didnt want that same prob. Only thing is i live in nyc and streets are messed up, i had an accord about 10 years ago and had it dropped real nice but the streets started to mess up the chassis and started crackin oil pans and tranny cores,from that point on instead of droppin my cars i just put big rims on them.... So what i did with my 08 si sedan is i put 20's and have no gap, people actually think i did drop it alil bit cuz theres no gap, looks good....

not your homie

15's on an 8th gen is stupid so i would never suggest that

different isn't always better

post a pic of your car....I'd love to see what "different" looks like

if it takes haters to make you feel important then you fail at life

you yourself are a hater. you mentioned 15" wheels like it was bad thing. I happen to like 15" wheels. hypocrite?

well....whatever...like I said...your car.

time for me to get off of work and go home to my family........they make me feel important.
