Post Your Aftermarket Wheel/Tire setup on Stock Suspension

[Lifesabeach]

See, you just proved my point! I DID NOT, say you couldn't read! I stated that your reading comprehension was lacking. Curious as to why you are a "Dr", and own a Honda Civic?! Also, I have never heard a learned person, use the word "chill", in that context. Just a simple observation.
The fact that people (like yourself) can't seem to follow simple instructions, (?) is beyond me!!!??

So you are implying just because I have a doctorate using the word chill and driving a Honda Civic are beneath me? Well to follow on your post you will see I'm sitting in an Aston Martin in my sig (a new Porsche is on order for delivery later this year), the civic is a daily and I think if I had not been able to follow "simple instructions" I would not be advising the UK Govt as part of my role in my career!

Good, glad to hear that you can indeed afford more than just a Civic hatchback after having educated yourself as well as you have! Back to my original point though. For what it's worth

? Those HFP wheels are very nice.?

They are called Appolon and the reason I posted is that they are only available in Europe (as far as I know) and I thought it would be nice to show what is available over this side of the pond.

I feel like I need to play judge, mediator, moderator here. For what it's worth, I've administered several online forums of various types since the late 90's, in case anyone cares.

Sonic, I'm also someone who loves online organization and thread tidiness. And I totally understand the idea behind this thread.

But here's the thing.

When someone "mistakenly" posts an OEM wheel here, there's no reason to chide them. They just want to show their new toy. Isn't it easier just to say "cool wheel man" and move on?

And for the record, I think Lifesabeach's wheels are cool.

 

[SonicBreezerST160]

Yes, I agree. I should have given him a pass because he's from across the pond, where admittedly, things are a little different. With that being said, there are just too many cross posts these days, that the moderators seldom (or never) seem to clean up. As for the wheels, they are about as good as OEM can be for our cars.?

So to get this shit back on track. My admission of lasts year set up:
Work Carving Stark 17x8 +35 (super rare wheel and I got tremendously lucky buying them. Odly enough my friend is friends with the original importer of the wheels from 08. Small world)
Tires were 235/45 Dunlop sportmaxxx

18x8.5+35
245/40/18

Any rubbing at all? Any modifications to fenders or wells?

I have been scouring the forums for this fitment. Seems to be most opt for the 235/40. I really want the extra rubber if it’s doable on stock suspension. Anyone else running this fitment?

No rubbing or modifications needed. Runs like a champ.

Love/hate the new wheels. Went a little aggressive with the tire size and now it’s a monster truck. Am I tripping? Drove around for 2 days and went back to stock.

Hey all,

I’ve got a 2017 civic hatchback sport and want to get wheels and tires but am looking for some guidance before I pull the trigger.

Looking to get work emotion CR Kiwamis 18 x 9.5 +38 with 245/40/18 tires. Will I have any issues (rubbing etc. ) with stock suspension? Might lower in the future so would be nice to know how low I can go with this setup.

Cheers!
