Need help

[Brandons2697]

I currently own a 2016 Civic EX.
I would like to replace the stock rim/tires for a more sporty look.
What size rims and tires will I need? I want a low profile tire.

Those are Enkei EKM3s correct?
Given that our bolt pattern is 114.3 and you want an aggressive low profile look, 18x8" 40 offset on 235/40 tires is the way to go. If you're more conservative, get 18x7.5" 45 offset on 215/45's.

What's the major difference between the two?

@Brandons2697 Yours would look sportier; closer to flush with the fenders, corner better but ride harsher. Mine would ride softer; closer to stock but would roll more on corners. The weight would be about the same with my rims being lighter but my tires heavier.

For 18x8, you could consider 235/40 for more comfort and it's closer to spec for our gen.

Would a 18X7.5 with an offset of 47mm work on a 2016 Honda Civic ex??

@civic_man Yes they would work!
I would only get concerned if the offset is past 50. For 7.5" width I would get 215/45, 225/40/18 or 235/40 if you want a meatier look. I'm riding on 18x8", 45mm, tires 235/40 and it's perfect to me.

Does anyone know if these would work on the SI, and would it change how it drives any?

Would a 18X8 still fit if my rim if it's 18X7.5?????

Like the rubber I want to buy for my rims says manufactur recommend is 18 X 8 with and offset of 45. Does that mean they don't fit on an 18X7.5 Rim with an offset of 47?? Sorry if this sounds stupid just confused

Would this size work? Winter tires on stock rim 235/70R16
