What size wheels are do-a-ble for 88-91 civic hatch
Ok am wanting to flush my Daily driver (to work and home, plus any weekend places such as malls, movies, etc I'm pretty universal distance wise to everywhere so it's not like i will be taking crappy streets) and I wanted to know what size wheels would be best for the ef hatch. I know 16 would be the limit but I also wanna know are 13's to small or if i could do that size and what offset should I look for in wheels, also I wanna know what suspsension set up should I use to camber it and slam it just right so it has that clean hellaflush look to it. If you can please respond with some helpful tips and pics it'll be deeply appreciated, thank you
15" are the best size rim/tire pkg IMO also, but the whole hella flush thing is just a terrible idea. Handling sucks, it's unsafe, tires wear out super fast and it's expensive to keep replacing tires, plus I'd never trust it for longer hi way travel.....each to their own though
When your goal is to make your car look stupid, be unsafe, and drive and handle like crap I really don't think wheel size is going to be that critical of a choice.

15s for the drop you are looking at.
Why so low though? It's cool for about 5 minutes and then you destroy your exhaust on speedbumps, driveways, and small pebbles.
It just draws attention and you will likely get tickets.
All good I guess if that's what you are into.
16s with the right offset and tire combo are doable, but probably not at your height. Even with just a little lowering you are asking to rub especially with a cheap suspension.

This is also what i was considering just dropping it on some eibach or tokiko springs or coilovers I'm just been a sucker for camber thats why i posted this thread up but man looks very good
I've seen people run 18's and it's too much.
Even 17's look proportionately too big IMO.
If you must do super flush and stretched tires, then get the backspacing right and run a 16x9.5.
My personal preference is 15's on the EF chassis, because you can go a wide as 10"+ wheels and 275/35/15 tires.
16's have shitty selection of tires, but if you're stretching them anyway, then who cares...

Bosozoku style, NICE!!! Yeah those are 14s offset and they are nice but where in the world could I find some like those or are they no name brands?
^^ I think the car looks super clean, but the suspension setup is a joke!! and dangerous, and expesive buying new tires all the time, what a waste
You will NOT be able to DD that. If you want serious low, you're gonna have to drop serious coin on suspension and alignment parts JUST to make it bearable, and you'll still wear though/break parts constantly.
i have a ef sedan on coilovers and oem style struts adjusted as low as it can go currently im on 14 inch del sol wheels until i paint my 15s but as it sit at the moment i love the ride quality not too much natural camber and handles better than stock....my advise to test waters and not waste alot of time and money go buy some ebay coilovers (megan racing) and kyb struts then find some 99-00 si wheels or gsr blades with 195-50 or 55s and see how u feel about that...im big into the camber thing also but using my ef as a daily i refuse to go crazy and only have an inch of tread contact to the road let alone get caught in the rain like that! but if u are really mind settled on the stance setup get the same coilover and strut setup and do a 15x8 with a mild offset like 20-25 and 195/50s (dont go with a crazy stretch) stay away from the 0-15 offset leave that for the guys that has experience with them setups
