I'd suggest +38 but depends on how aggressive you want to go. Here is a link to a fitment recipe from 8th Civic.com that you can check out to see what will work. Keep in mind, some of the more aggressive offsets may require fender rolling or different camber settings.

If you want flush, you better go at least 38+, I'd say 35+ but that's just me.

im running 17x8 +30 lowered on comptech springs and i need to run neg. camber and roll my fenders in the rear.

running +35 would probably work very well.

225x45x17 will fit fine from what i've read/seen. you can go 235 but like i said, im rubbing with 235x45...so im gonna go 235x40 with my next set of tires.

Winter? We both know that winter consists of a little rain here in cali. It's all good though. Good luck with the suspension install.
