ya to bad the offset wasnt quite right... at least not for a lowered civic
so depending on if i can roll the rear inner fenders and/OR buy smaller tires... i might just have to sell the rims... cause NO WAY im gonna lift the car back up.LOL

Those look great man, good job on your work.

Some nice looking 15s or 16s would look better though. They kind of look too big for your car, but if that's how you like it man, i can't say no to quality work, and that is clean.

well i like the looks of 17s........ so id like to stick with them.... but on the front they only rubbed alittle. i believe it was just rubbing on a fat plastic retainer but i didnt FULLY test it out to hard... but just swearving side to side it didnt rub... just while turning and hiting a decent size bump it would rub alittle... BUT i didnt want to chance it.......
so i guess my next set of wheels will be 195-40-17s..
BUT money wise i wont have enough cash till i sell my truck... and seeing how im to freaken lazy to put it in the paper for sale
BUT ill just take the rims to this car show saturday and HOPEFULLY i can get a buyer and at least put some money in my pocket and maybe buy that fender roller.... and at least get my car ready to run some rims... the thing that gets me is ud think honda woulda rolled that fender up at least alittle..... hell if anything it comes down 1/2inch stock... they realy wanna limit you from rollen larger tires

just roll ur fenders. it'll be cheaper, even if u have to deal with the $250 w/e deposit. new set of tires, mounting and balancing will cost alot more than fender rolling. and like i said before, look around for some local racing forums like autox forums or w/e, im like 99% sure u'll find someone with a fender roller.
