if u do can i see a close up pics of side view? just wana see da clearance gap between the guard shit.

[steve88]

i got 18s, and i only have a little bit of clearence, so i cant imagine anything more forgiving on 19s

ohh and if u can try and get 19"x7.5"

theres not many to choose from if you go for 7.5" but it will make a difference with the scrubbing

mine are 8" and it scrubs a bit so not sure how they would go on a EG

[steve88]

hahaha ****t hats a nice paint job, you in sydney??

yeh 8" wont go too well with civics, prepare to get a wide body kit if you want to avoid that rubbing

thats a tight fit, looks tough m8.:thumbsup:
its too late i already bort 19x8 lenso rims.

[Mz_Civic]

thanks guysss

and steve88 yep im in sydney

hmm is it possible to change them for 7.5" ? see how they go i guess.. but pretty sure they wont fit well because your guards are smaller than mine

let us know how you go

[steve88]

normally i can pick out a EK civic esp with a paintjob like that,

have you had your guards rolled honda_zivic?

[honda_zivic]

da rims i bort are lenso speed six and they dont make 19x7.5 even the 18" range are 18x8 so yea.
my car is lowerd about near superlow height and my guards arent rolled yet.

[honda_zivic]

i fink im gona need spacers. other than dat everything else fit perfectly doesn't touch the brakes an such just da camber shit will rub it with tyres on. theres about 15-20mm gap.

[steve88]

wow thats nuts! are you getting 215/35/19?

[honda_zivic]

yea 215 is da best fit. i don't fink higher than dat will be suitable.
what u reckon i should go 4 215/35?

[steve88]

brand of tyres? depends wat ur using it for. i just got cheap sonars for $145 and i was happy with that, i dont take it to the track or anything. all show

[honda_zivic]

i was finking of michelin , falken, nankang ,pirelli or sumshit.
i dont care its just for looks and im not tracking my car.

I have 19"x8 on my EK sedan 215/35 ,very tight fit, rolled rear guard

[steve88]

nankang = sonar, it goes fine

what else did u do 2 make 19's fit on ? did u use spacers?

[denmase]

To: Honda Zivic

No spacers needed, fit straight on.
Make sure u got the right off-set and suspension clearance.
Got my 19" rims frm overseas, which commonly use for EG and EK.

[honda_zivic]

what offset r ur rims?

[denmase]

Honestly i couldnt remember ..
Cuz the front is different off-set from the rear
May be something like -40 at front or -42 rear..correct me if im wrong.
