would i have any rubbing issues if i put 17s on a '00 ex at stock height? what about down the road if i decide to lower it?

 

my friend has 18's on his 00 HX and its lowered two inches. Looks nice and no rubbing.

 

at stock height with the proper size tires (205/40-17), you'll have absolutely no problems whatsoever. Now, in the future if you decide to lower it, you might run into rubbing problems depending on the offset of your wheels. To avoid rubbing, wheels on a civic should have at least a +38mm offset (Up to a 17" wheel... anything bigger and it's almost a guarantee that you'll have rubbing problems due to the width of the wheel). Last summer, I had my 17's (+45mm offset) tucked so much that the rear fenders were almost at the lip of the wheel. I had no rubbing problems (then again, I didn't bother with a camber kit or anything).

 

like reaper said make sure the offset is right (somewhere around +38 to +42) and you shouldnt have too many issues. lol it seems like this question has been asked A LOT lately..

 

thanks guys
