Hi guys, I am new here. Could not find the following answers, could you please give advise, I would really appreciate it

1. Fall in love in these rims https://injapan.ru/auction/w404715190.html Gram Lights 57 XStream SP, what size should I choose for stock suspension Civic EX-T 2016 sedan:
Gram Lights 57 XTREME 18X8.5 +33 or 18x8.5 +45/ +42 PCD 5-114.3, and what size of tires should better fit, I prefer when tires sit like a house.
Worry about friction...
2. Where can I find the info about block differential of Si and Type R. Can't figure out, what will be easy and less expensive to build a street drag car. What the difference between Helical Limited-Slip Differential (Si) and LSD Differential of TypeR ?

+33 will give you a more fender flush fit. +45/42 will be more inside the wheel well (it would sit deeper in).
235/40r18
245/40r18 - 245/35r18
255/40r18 - 255/35r18

255/35 being the closest fit to stock on a 8.5 width wheel.

Will it fit good and doesn't rub if I choose R18 rims 8.5 width with tires R18 225/45 or R18 rims 9.5 width with tires R18 225/45? Any thoughts?

On stock suspension anything +30 and over has no issues at all with a 8.5. 225/45 will fit a 8.5 and only up to an 8.5. You will get a stretch tire look on a 9.5 width wheel. You would need to increase tire size in order for it to fit properly.

On stock suspension you'll be fine. I'm running 18x8 +35 255/35 tires. So since u want a smaller tire you'll be alright

Hi, I am going to buy Enkei RSM9 18 8.5 width wheel, a trader offers also to buy the tires 245/45 r18 Michelin Pilot Sport4, I think the tire is too big for the stock civic

45 is too tall, get either a 35 or a 40 sidewall profile.

Hi, I have made a choice finally. I have bought Enkei RSM9 18 8.5 width, I am thinking to buy 245/40 Michelin 4SP, assuming it will be the best choice.

1. Cheaper than 235/40
2. More comfort than 235/40
3. Better road grip

But don't know how will they look on the wheel.
