I recently purchased a 2018 Si HFP. It came with 235/35/R19 Michelin Sport tires which are fantastic, but with Winter nearly here, I am shopping for snow tires.
I don't want to go with 19" rims for several reasons: number one, cost. My problem is that I am unable to get an intelligent answer from Honda, or the dealer on
the HFP bolt pattern and offset..Without this information I am in limbo. I want to go with 18" rims and 225/45/R18 Michelin Pilot Alpin A4's. Anyone out there
have this information? I would also be interested in what others are using on HFP for winter driving,

My take: So much of the Civic's undercarriage is covered by plastic shields - for undercoating/spray to have any real benefit these would have to come off so they can hit the metal bits. Call me paranoid, but I don't trust 95% of people to put all the little pop clips back in properly. I'm guessing a big cause of splash guards coming off is the reassembly after this treatment. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Leave your car's belly alone and it'll be ok. It's a 10th gen civic, not a Chevy from the 70s.

The bolt pattern is the same as all other civic parts (Excluding Type-R)
5x114.3 the HFP wheels are something like 19x8.5 +50 or something close to that. If you want to run 18s with 45 profiles, you can run a 18x8 or 18x8.5 with a +40 or +30 offset around there without any issues.
