Man I can't make up my mind but I think I'm pretty firm on this. I'm gonna go 16's and get the xxr002. If I ran a +20 offset, what do you think?

I'm assuming you're looking into getting the 16 x8?Quote:

They only really look good if you're stupidly low.
Read through this thread: http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthr...619#post977619 if you haven't already, a few ppl in there are running similar wheels from memory. There currently is someone asking about the same setup as you.
Hey rps, I've got my eyes on a set of wheels and they are 17 x 8, +30 offset with 225/45/17. I've just lowered my car on coils and want a pretty flush look
My rear guards are rolled already. Below is a pic of how the car sits. Will I have any issues? Will I have to raise the car?
I also have a set of 205/45/17 I could put on the wheels if needed.

17x8 +30 will sit flush to slight poke, depending on your final height and camber. You should be fine running the 225`s. I'd look into getting rear camber arms to correct your negative camber. Fronts you most likely will need a roll, and maybe trim the splash guards.
Only pics i have for reference:

17x8.5 +31, unsure of tyre size and camber. Your potential set up will sit in/retract 5mm compared to above.

17x8 +38, 245/40, i was at approximately -1.0 camber. Your set up will sit out a further 8mm compared to the enkei`s.
Rears i don't have any good pics at similar height, for reference.
Here's a pic from ephatch.com

17x8 +38 with 235/45/17. Mild drop with ~1.1 degree camber. Your set up will sit out a further 8mm, running the 225`s you may need to dial in -1.5 maybe more to tuck the tyre in.
17x9 +38 also sits very flush, with -2 camber. scrubs a bit however
Thanks guys!
EP3 on 17x8 +35 w/ 215/45/17 running stock suspension, yes or no?
car: FD1 civic
wheels:work vs-xx 17x7 +35
what tyres should i run guys? front/rear? on stock height
215/45 will look better imo
yea, i thought so to, cant seem to find people selling a pair in 215,45s some guy offered 215/40 for 120 for the pair. he also has 225s for sale for 200
Go to a tyre shop, they will have 215/45 for sure.
