wider wheels

[alan]

is it possible to fit 8" wide rims to a civic and what width tyres would fit
currently i got 17*7 wheels with 205/40/17 tyres

i had 7.5s i spose 8s would fit if your offset was big enough.

[SIKCVC]

they would definatly rub on the front though... if you have an EG that is.

why would you want such wide rims?

[bennjamin]

i have 15x7 very old school enkei rp01s.....in 15x7 dimensions .
With 195 or 205 rubber - and not-too-severe lowerering - the car rides very nice indeed.
But on anything larger than 15inch x 7 inch would think definite rubbing and reducing turing etc.

i've seen sikcvc while i was driving home from work before, would i be able to see how your 7.5 wheels fit on your car?

[alan]

the reason for the wider wheels is that some wheels don't come in 7" and the slimest is 8"

yeh 7.5 is the widest you can go on a civic. thats wot ive got at the moment.

[alan]

what offset would be appropriate for 7.5" wide wheels?
i think the current offset of my wheels are +45
