i dont have pics, but i wouldnt advise it. the widest id go is 7.5 but that pushing it. You could rub against your wheel well on the front and maybe rub something on the inside of the wheel. you never know till you try.

why 16 x8 for you civic? are you looking for the lowrider look? 7.5 is max I recommend for a daily driver(still rubbing though). 8 will be scrapping.

it would look sick though if it could fit. and yea, 8 is too wide. i say 7 is widest and 7.5 is already pushing it. good luck

yea. i have 7" wide wheels with 205mm wide tires. i come very close to rubbing but dont.

any bigger and i'd scrape. 8" is wayyy to wide for a civic.

how good is the deal? maybe take up the offer and then resell for more. this way you have some extra money to get a smaller size?

Wow! I feel lucky the guy had a typo in his add and they are actually 16x7. I got them for only 500 bucks. One rim has a bout half inch scuff and part of the volk sticker is peeled off. I think i can probably get a new sticker to replace the one that is scraped up. Anyone know where i can get a new one? Lemme know.
