hiya, my names alan, and i just came back from hk and relise my gf bought a set of rims for her EF civic....they are nice, but unfortunately her car doesnt fit it(who sold it to her? :P ) and its a bit too wide and will hit the guard, but she really likes the rims and nagging to keep it
so i am here to ask...is there a way to resolve this or no should i just sell it back on market again for her. thanks heaps guys

you can try something along the lines of:

1. try smaller tyres on the rims, say if its 205 try 195
2. lip and roll the gaurds
3. dont serverly lower the car
4. remove the inner plastic gaurds

if they fit the stud pattern, i dont see how they wouldnt fit nice ....
try smaller rubber, and lip the gaurds, it might just do the trick!

iif the stud pattern doesnt fit then you could get them re-drilled? don't think its very safe tho... why not sell them, and buy a set which is exactly the same style - but a size which suits the car.... got any pics of how badly they dont fit?....

I am the one who sold it to her, it came off my EK Civic and my car is lowered and i never had problems with it hitting the guard. When i advertised it i also stated that it was 15 x 7. here's the link to my ad.

Is the EF lowered a lot?

Anyway, I don't do dodgy deals. Your gf has my number, you can give me a call to discuss this.
