Just my personal opinion but too much poke doesn't look good. Stock offset is +50 mm with an 8" wheel. Your setup is +20 mm with an 8.75" wheel. That's a substantially different setup. I wonder long term about wheel bearings, for example.
Personally, I've always ran lower offset specs on all my cars and have yet to change out a wheel bearing. Never heard of someone's wheel bearing failing due to the low offset of their wheels but I could see some kind of correlation to it.

I was wondering if this is too much poke. And is it going mess up the suspension or the fender. (I ain't rubbing or anything, just when really really deep bumb on the pavement)
If you lowered your car it'd look a bit more natural but then you would need some fender work forsure. The worst your doing is messing up the steering/suspension geometry of the car by running a different offset from stock but unless you're tracking the car I dont think you will notice anything different lol.

Quick question guys. What tires would be a square setup and not rub if I’m going for 18x9.5 +38 and on eibach pro kit springs
Read somewhere that 245 is the biggest we can go without any fender work. But it really depends

Thinking about getting some aftermarket wheels, but I was wondering what people did with their stock wheels? Do you sell them? Keep them for the winter? Trade them in (I'm not even sure if this is possible?). Let me know what you guys have done.

I kept my ext wheels in my garage wrapped in plastic for almost 3 years. Finally sold them for $550 to a local guy in need of some stock wheels cause his aftermarket 20s bent.

Hey guys, I'm new on all of this. I would like to know what would be the best tires for my 18x8 Konig Oversteer wheels on a White Honda Civic EX 2017? Thanks!

They make that same size wheel in a 35mm offset, might have been a much better fitment (?).
