Can someone post a pic of your civic specifically running a 235/45/18 tires?

I know the factory is at 235/40/18, but I just wanted to see how high that will sit with my sport civic (stock).


Also, anyone have any experiences with the PIRELLI P ZERO ALL-SEASON TIRES?


Any advice is recommended!

Basically, the tire would throw off your speedometer by 3.5%. A general rule is don't change tire size by more than 3%.

As far as ride height, they have 1/2" taller sidewalls so the car would look slightly taller. They also would fill the wheelwells more.

Here's a pic of a hatch with 235/45-18's I found online but I don't know if this car is lowered at all:

So I accidentally did this, well more that I didn't do my research so I kinda just ended up with what the tire shop guessed with. Everything seems fine so far, I know that the speedometer is off a bit and i'm sitting like .4 inches higher, but is this going to cause any other problems? Here is a pic, though:

No problem other than a more comfortable ride and greater tire selection (cheaper) on stock suspension.
