Just got these exact wheels. When you test fitted the rims with no tires it looked hella poked right at first? Just making sure because I test fitted and it looked so poked from head on. I think once 255s are on it should be fine also is your wheel very close to your shock?

If you want the car to handle and be a beast drop the d2s man. Go swift spec r springs with a 18x9.5 +38 or a +40 with 255/35/18. Thatā€™s the money shot, Iā€™m scooping tires today.

When are you are planning on mounting your wheels? I would love to see the outcome!

Currently running an 18x9.5+38 with 265/35/18 squared. No rubbing and lowered on bc extreme low coilovers.

Wheels: avid av.06 18x9.5+38
Tires: hankook s1 noble 2 265/35/18
Suspension: bc extreme low coilovers with whiteline sway bar end links and spc rear camber arms.
Running about 2Ā° camber in front and 4Ā° in the rear(planning on rolling the fenders to take some out)
No rubbing other than hitting bigger bumps on the parkway doing 80+(only found out the hard way once so far)

Just wanted some tips, I have a civic hatch sport.

Planning on 255/35/18 on 18x9.5 +35 or ,+38. Wanting to do h&r springs as well which is 1.2-1.4 inch drop. Will I rub a lot?

Will I need camber adjustment?

You're gonna have natural camber in the rears when you use springs. 1.2-1.4 is decently aggressive. with +38 I think you should be fine.
When I had my Sport Touring HatchBack I dropped them on D2 Lowering Springs and my rears were tucked front was fine.

I wanted all sides to be poking, top of the tire slightly darting out the side. Maybe Pro Kit might be a better fit for that since it's 0.9-1.1" drop?

Thanks for the answer! :)

If you want them to poke out you'll be looking at around +35 +30 or less depending on how much poke/flush you want. I would say go Eibachs if you want to close wheel gap and have poke. D2's you'll need tuck. Other ones when I did research didn't give enough wheel gap close.

I would definitely get your wheels first to see how much poke you want. Then do the lowering springs if that's the route you want to stick with. You can measure how much wheel gap you have left after you get your wheels. I would say yes get the ProKit cause the drop is less, but any time you drop you'll get a little bit of camber in the rear, so you'll need to get control arms too unless you don't mind small camber.

Awesome, thanks. I was looking for a modest drop regardless but my mechanic really liked the H&R springs. Pro Kits were what I was looking for originally. Unfortunately I can't be getting wheels yet due to budget but it's something I want to in the near future.

Just to correct myself, more + offset means further away from the car right? So +42 is poking further than +35?

As for camber, a little bit of negative camber in the rear would be great for cornering.

No, so higher number +45 +50 +55 +60(this is the higher number because the number is increasing) is more tucked in. You want lower offset like +35 +30 +32 +30 (this is the lower number, it's decreasing) for more poke. Higher numbers = more tuck , lower numbers = more poke.

When you hit near negatives that's when it's extremely out and requires wide body kit. The most aggressive poke I think I've seen on a Civic is someone running Cosmis Wheels +10 and that was on coilovers and it was stupid aggressive, I'm talking about extremely out. I think I saw it on FitmentIndustries. I would also go there and check out people's cars to get an idea of how much poke you'll have.

This is +8
https://www.fitmentindustries.com/w...-civic-cosmis-racing-xt-206r-stock-suspension

This guy is running +25
https://www.fitmentindustries.com/w...cosmis-racing-xt-005r-eibach-lowering-springs

This is +35
https://www.fitmentindustries.com/w...da-civic-cosmis-racing-r1-bc-racing-coilovers

+35 to +30 is pretty flush with some poke that's not very obvious. As you're getting to lower numbers as you see with the +8 you can see the fitment is extreme poke.

Wheel size is pretty standard, 18x8.5 +35 Superspeed RF05RR. However, the tires are Yokohama AD08R's 255/35R18, which is quite meaty.

No rub at the Rear, light rub on hard dips at the Front due to these tires having very square shoulders that give them the same width as most tires in 265 size. Lowered on Whiteline Springs. I reckon a 245 would've been perfect, but was future proofing these tires as a separate track setup for our CTR once the Si departs

Rims: Enkei NT03 (Black) 18x9.5 +40 squared

Rubbing: Only when canyon carving HARD but barely with the beast alignment. Fenders getting rolled soon for maximum driving capability.
