I went out the other day and bought some 18 inch enkeis for 250 with tires, which I think is a pretty good deal, Now I have the dilemma of wondering how low if any I should drop the car without having major rub issues. If anyone has any helpful suggestions please let me know.

 

Without knowing what year/model Civic, its impossible to give any sort of help.

 

Sorry, its a 96 civic ex coupe, the rims are 18x7 with an offset of 30

 

215/35/18 would be the only tire size that would fit both your car and those wheels. But, to be honest, you're going to be far better off using a smaller wheel.

 

They all have those size tires on it but does anyone know how low can I go without any issues with rubbing If need be I will probably trade them for some SI's or something but I really like these tires and do not want to be seen as everyone else with their little wheels and extreme drop. Even though it looks good I just do not want to be another one of those hondas if i can avoid it

 

You should be able to get a decent drop with those wheels, but with the 30 offset you will run into clearance issues with the fenders/quarter panels if you don't run some negative camber or do something to the metal to increase clearance.

PS. There's always been a ton of people with large wheels on lowered cars, bud. Not trying to burst your bubble, but there definitely are plenty out there.

 

...my bubble has been burst lol thank you for the input

 

Yep ET30 will need alot of fender work to avoid rubbing (even at stock ride height); need to be around ET40+

 

will put them on tomorrow leaving the ride height stock and see where we can go from there.

 

You could always trade. I traded a friend steelies for 18's because he had bad rubbing issues. I took the 18's and traded them for a set of Civic HX wheels.

 

If it rubs to much they will be sold or traded for some 17's or something but it was just one of those deals I could not pass.

 

18 on a civic! No Bueno...

 

trade/sell them for 15 and drop it. cleanest look on a 6G civic

 

Actually it doesnt look bad but i cant drop the car...;o( plus i dont have any rub issues unless i have ppl in the car but we will see ill put em up on craigslist just to see what i can get
