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 reckonize a 245 would've been perfect, but was future proofing these tires as a separate track setup for our CTR once the Si departs

I'm looking for those wheel in mate black and I can't decide between those 18x8.5 +35 or 18x9.5 +38. I will also like to run 255/35/18. I'm installing whiteline spring so with a little drop ... Do the 18x9.5 should fit without rubing? I found on fitment industie that some guys having 18x9.5 +38 pair with 255/35/18 and have no issue. Help would be appreciate !

I flubbed on the offset, I wanted it to poke, stock height normal driving small bumps no hitting the fenders, any deviations the fronts can rub at times.

Can I still lower with eibach pros? Do I need to fender roll? I did as much research as I could before buying, it's overwhelming with the amount of information and opinions, I tried my best.

The back tires never rubbed once, even hitting a pot hole or steep deviation. It's mainly the fronts.

It's not constant, but enough pressure they will obviously hit the fenders.

Here's some pics..... Suggestions?

You can still lower it. In the front you should remove the guide pin for extra camber it should put you right at about 1.5-2 after a drop and fitment should be no problem. In the rear the natural camber you get from lowering it should also leave you close to 2 degrees and might be all the camber you need. If you do need slightly more, a rear camber kit should do the trick.

What he said ☝
Plus, you may need negative camber ball joints for the front as well or eventually changing tires to 245-55-65 / 35. The 245/40 rubbed up front for me at stock height

Great looking civic! Do you remember exactly which springs you got? I can't find any that are compatible with the 2016 civic ex-L.

I had it installed professionally through a local shop that specializes in Hondas.

Personally I didn’t feel comfortable doing it on my own without help or the tools.


Thank you! Is there anything, regarding the installation, that I should know about?
