Can i still drop my honda with 18" Wheels?! :(
I havent really asked anyone and thought here would be the perfect place.
i still want to drop my civic a little lower, And i was one day SURPRISED with 18" konig rims!? there beautiful! & i lovee them! but didnt want sooo big! the problem with this is, they were a gift, and i wouldnt be able to sell them so now i have to work around it to make the car look as best as possible with them. & i wanted to drop it a little lower, so can this still be done, without it rubbing & any ideas of how to still make it look good with the 18"? Im upsett!!

girl... no just no... lol. hhmmm i think i've seen someone else sayin that... lol. dont put 18"s it will look BAD! not only that, it will give u really bad handling and braking. go with 15's or 16's. i knw in h-town its all bout big this big that, but not with a civic. just don't. how low is it dropped? don't go no more then a 2in drop... i don't recommend it. especially the way houston streets are. trust me... i tell u by experience. go with some drags like me. i'm gettin 15's with 195/50R15 size tire. and i'm droppin my civic 2in.... its perfect that way... btw i'm gettin black with machined lip drag dr-16's. check them out on discounttiredirect.com

it would be really hard to make 18" look good on a 6th gen civic. they are just too big and looks awkward. you wont have a lot of room to work with in term of lowering your car maybe rip out the wheel well to get a little more room to work with. BTW what konigs did you get?

Yeah, I really see no way to lower a 6th gen on 18's without some serious rubbing problems.
I mean, you could roll the fenders, stretch smaller width tires over the wheels, and run a lot of negative camber, but the wheels are too big to outright avoid rubbing. The only way I can think of to avoid rubbing would be to tub the wheel wells.
