Default Im kind of upset!?!?!

I was just informed by the wheelsnext cs rep that nothing stagged will fit underneath my 07 ex coupe. There is probably something out the with a 7in front and 8 inch back but thatd look goody i think... AXIS makes a wheel called the wide track or (maxxis) which has a larger lip in the rear than in the front to give it that staggered look. Any feedback on these. Also he claimed even if i dropped it 1.75' that these 225/40/18s would not rub and should be fine what are your thoughts on this guys? the other wheels I am looking at are the Tenzo RS-5's also in 18's and the Tork Imagine all have from a 7.5-8 in width will these fit? also what do you guys think about these rims on an 07 coupe which would look best?

here they are in order. 1)Axis Maxxis widetrack 2)Tenzo RS-5 3)Tork Imagine 4)Tenzo Passion 5)Hp Racing Speedy Envy

that Si up there is hideous, that lip looks terrible.

But back on topic, why do you wanna go staggered? Because from a performance standpoint, you are increasing understeer on a car that already deals with serious amount of understeer, without expanding the contact patches where you need them the most. I'd go for 8's all the way round, keep it even, with a nice sharp turn-in and you should be good to go.

Besides, all Civic's look terrible with staggered setups, just not the style the car was designed for.

Wheel size doesn't really matter, tire size over it matters more. But I think with a reasonable size tire you should be good for up to a 2 inch drop or so.
