Hi All,
First off sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find anything about it.
I currently drive a 2002 Honda Civic Vi 5 door hatch. I want to go a sort of JDM look with the car and I'm going to start with wheels and suspension.
I'm in the process of organising some wheels, tyres and coilovers for it but I have a couple of questions.
I'm going to order a set of 18" White Buddy Club P1 Racing SF to go under it. I'm looking at 18" x 7.5" +42

Will this offset work well when I wrap the rims in a set of Nexen N3000 215/40/18? The main reason I'm looking at these is because the comply with the queensland regulations with overall rolling diameter and load rating. I am open to other options on tyres but I need to keep to under 630mm rolling diameter and Load Index of 88 or better.
I'll also be fitting a set of Rays locking wheel nuts which are 1.5mm thread Long Type annodized red in colour.
The coil overs, I made my decision in regards to these based off a really good mate of mine as he is running these in his Mitsubishi EVO 6.5. I'm looking at the BC BR coilovers but these are for the EP3 2000 on but I'm not sure if they will fit. Does anyone know if these will fit into my car??

BC Adjustable Coilovers "NEW " HONDA CIVIC EP3 2000 On
BC - BR - Sports Adjustable Coilovers are a advanced well produced alternative to the many Brands in our market today sharing features much more advanced than the competion.The BR range is BC's Flagship Model range offering the ultimate in Performance and Reliability in our demanding Road conditions.
The BR Range Features a very large 53mm Piston Insert design unlike most of the alternatives being only 44mm. This larger design Piston contains more Lubricating oil slowing down the oil Temp Increase in Demanding road contions where the Piston is working very hard.All BC BR coilovers Have Visible Large Bump Stops and Piston Dust Boots
BC BR has 32 points of damper adjustments means you can fine-tune your vehicle for whatever the circuit calls for from Soft for street driving to Hard for track use. It can also be disassembled and rebuilt as well to meet with whatever the circumstances.Easy Damper adjustment with Twist dials from the top of the Suspension.
Cast Iron Lower Powder Coated mounts With Strengtheners are Used on All Mc Pherson Suspension Designs unlike Most of the Cheaper Alternatives using Aluminium which is a lot Weaker and prone to damage from Demanding driving,OE manufactures also use Cast iron as do BC for Road saftey Reasons.ABS and oil Line brackets are manufactured onto the BC lower mounts making driving a lot safer and Accident free plus also Hassle free installation.
"A" Frame Design Suspension like the Honda has Cut-out Design holes in the Mounts for ease of cleaning the insert Threads of Dirt and to View Safe and Precise Height Adjustments.
Coil Springs are High-Rigidity SA9254 Sports Springs that come Pre Loaded on Fully Assembled Coilovers.
Newly Designed Gold Lock Rings makes Adjustment a lot Easier over the common Aluminium which tends to be Chewed up after a couple of Adjustments.
L Shaped Plastic Spring Seats are Also used to prevent Friction between the Coil Spring and Lock rings Avoiding Coilbind Noise common when using the Cheaper Rubber spring seats in Cheaper Brands
Height adjustments to lower the vehicle up to 110mm lower than standard ride height( Depending on Application ) for better center of gravity or can be used and set at the OEM ride height.
BC BR uses Large Heavy Duty Pillowball top hats means camber adjustments can be adjusted at ease and is available for all car models that use Mc Pherson Style suspension,Where not applicable the standard top hats are used as in most European cars or comes with Solid Top plates and Hard Bushing.
All kits come with a Tool bag which includes The Ring spanners For Height Adjustment
All suspension units come with a 12 month Limited Warranty for replacement parts found to be defective, From Performance Guru within normal use and not road abuse , there after all parts can be sourced.Warranty is void if used for Track Racing.

To ask again, My questions where will those tyres work well with the rims I've selected and Secondly will the EP3 Coilovers go into my 2002 Vi Civic 5 Door Hatch.
