do you know how many people run that exact wheel on that exact car? it's not the wheel that's the problem.
they only "don't fit" because you don't want to try getting any negative camber, or the DIY fender rolling.

this guy knows what's up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDTK9IjKIYU

lol!


p.s. if you don't want to go to the effort of making them fit, you're just going to have the very same "problem" when you save up for the Enkeis

 

they should definitely fit. fix the one tire with the wrong size, remove the top retainer clip up front in the fender well. i don't get it, i had 17's with 205/40/r17's w/ 40mm+ offset and i was dropped 2.5". i never rubbed in the rear, i removed the front two clips, and everything was perfect. something just doesn't sound right.

 

well i understood HAMMER and PIPE


i and dont think i have the ***** to try that with the pipe... i REALY would kill myself if the fender would bend on the outside outta shape!!!!!
the front i can see doing preaty easy... BUT if i can just run some 195s and have my speedo be off by 1mph thats worth alittle extra clearance...

o do apritiat your help tho dont get me wrong....
but if i can at least sell these rims for 300bucks then id have 300bucks in my pocket AND 200bucks more than i had a few days ago for only half a days work... THEN i could buy the actual fender roller tool and keep it that way i could do friends cars and maybe charge alittle to do it....
plus if i went back to negative camber in the rear then id probably have to spend another 80bucks on alignment again that i just dont wanna spend realy plus the cost of 2 new tires ruffly 175bucks.... well id just rather sell them to someone not willing to lower thier civic and buy a special tool with the profits..

BUT at least this way i dont REALY get my hopes up with buying those new rims and tires and finding out the tires will rub and have to take them off and wait till i prep all this stuff... lol
and i desided just to put 300 OBO at the car show... just not sure if i should just take ONE or take them all with me to show..... i just dont wanna have my stereo comp and then have to pull all the rims from the car and just move them around from show to comp all day. LMFAO

i think ill just take one rim and pictures of the rest... i can always have my dad bring me the rims and pay him gas for bringing them to me.LOL



but thanks for the complements and ideas! at least i know what to do so when i buy my new rims/tires i can be ready for them to fit and know what size to buy first time. THANKS AGAIN!

 

well maybe with one of the wrecks my civics been in BEFORE MY TIME... maybe they bent that inner fender lip down or something but i can bounce the car by hand lightly and i can see that lip rubbing the sidewalls..


maybe it is just that negative camber that would allow it to clear.... i just wanted agood alignment.. and they did the best that they could to get them true...
