The wheels /
tires appear to be tucked in to far because of the body kit, if you look at the tire to fender lip at the 12 o'clock position they are very close to stock appearing, if they were out any farther they would possibly rub on bumps and when turning, this car did not have a wheel alignment and the camber is off. When the lowering springs are avail and installed, the alignment will be completed and the tires won't be negative camber like they are now. I would never use wheel spacers and I don't think there is enough lug stud to even use a spacer. The center hub of the HFP wheel is the same diameter as the stock wheel, which is good because the wheel actually centers off the hub not the lug nuts or a plastic spacer. I was really surprised at the ride and handling with the springs and no alignment, but the camber will fool the handling since it is off, esp in the rear. I thought springs would be avail by now, but I have not discovered any as of today.

Looks good, personally I think the touring model looks the best though, and I like the rims better as well. All those upgrades however are great, thanks for the idea!

To clear up about offset, I found this post over at 9th Gen Civic forum:

"Offset is how close or how far the rim sits from the hub. For example the Si stock rim offset is +45 so if you get a rim with say +30 than the rim will sit 15mm further out than the stock Si rim, if you get a rim with say +55 than that rim will sit 10mm further in than the stock Si rim."

Maybe I suck at google, but does anybody have a link to where I can find those rims? I really like the way they look on the WOP. Thanks!

Those wheels are the 8th Gen Honda Accord HFP wheels. They can be found here.

Good job dude! I love the look, though have you noticed if the black roof heated up the interior?

Also, I find the black line that demarcates the hood and the small white plastic above the grill ugly. What can be done to reduce the unsightly line? perhaps paint it white?

That got me too at first but have gotten used to it.. They do sell spray paint specifically formulated for soft, flexible parts such as leather, vinyl and fabric (You can find/buy at auto parts stores or even Walmart's automotive section). That will probably work well, I happen to have a can in white and other colors, but I'm not sure I want to do that to mine in case I end up not liking the end result. I guess you could purchase a spare and replace it if it doesn't work out but either way, I'm sure in time the color will fade or get dirty anyway.

2016 Civic EXL

19" HFP wheels (Honda Factory Performance)
225/35/19 Michelin Pilots
Honda Body Kit
Carbon Fiber front splitter
Carbon Fiber wrapped: roof, mirrors, front grill
Lowered 1 inch front and rear
Honda rear spoiler
40% tinted glass

Will add pics once car is cleaned and sun is out.

Update:

There is the local new car show for the city we live in and they wanted a car done for the show, so I took the oe springs and torched them so the vehicle sat an inch lower, since no one makes springs yet ( no way can we sell it like this, but when the aftermarket springs come out, they will get installed) as for the splitter just search for a 04-10 BMW E60 M5 Carbon Fiber Under Front Bumper Lip Spoiler Splitter, this is what was installed. The top is the carbon fiber wrap and kind of textured, along with the mirrors and grill. When the sun is out I will get better pics of the roof and grill.

This civic looks the best by far that I've seen. Big thumbs up for it. Only thing that i would get rid of is the black mirror and the black roof, other than that this looks great!
