Icon3 Agressive wheel setup.

I'd like to know what would be the most agressive wheel setup that I can have without rolling the fenders on a 2003 Honda Civic Coupe? My brother has a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI and he has 17X 9.5 Corvette wheels and he did not have to pull the fenders and it rubs a tiny bit but I guess it's fine. What do you suggest me to go for? Let me know. Thanks.

Are you running any negative camber?

If not, you're looking at about a +32 for a 7" wide wheel, with properly sized tires.

I'm willing to run a bit of negative camber in order to fit the most agressive wheels.

Well, without doing any metal work... you're not going to fit much of an "aggressive wheel". The rear quarter panels are angled in such a way, to limit space for wheels. And, if that weren't a big enough problem, the front fenders have larger tabs for your fender liners that also limit how big of a wheel you can run.

Even with 3 degrees of negative camber, you're only going to gain 15 or so mm of clearance room. So, you're looking at maybe a +17 with a 7" wide wheel and properly sized tires.
