A mate of mine gets around on a set of Advan RGII's which are similar offsets, 17x8.5 +31 with 225/45's all round. Scrubs a bit under hard cornering in the rear and when the back seats are loaded up.

But true I agree, stock height and agressive wheels does look pretty gay! Espcially when ppl are rocking fake wheels!!!

I've been spending my night trying to workout what wheels will fit my FD Civic but with no success. Its currently got the 15" steel wheels, and I've found a set of wheels that i'm pretty interested in. I was able to find the following info about them: 17 x 7 inch - 5 on 114.3 mm - 42 mm offset. I was wondering if these would fit the civic? Any help would be appreciated!

they'll fit with no issues, the stock sports wheels are 17x7 +45, so your wheels are only going to protrude 3mm more than the stock wheels.

on the rear you might be able to get away with a roll and camber kit, but still look gay as fuk lol

Will I have a problem running 17x7.5+30 215/45 or 225/45 on BC BR coilovers? (no guards rolled) or would I still require a camberkit and guards rolled?

depends how low you are. you might be able to clear it with natural camber on 215, but id still go with a roll and 225. run -1.5 camber and its flush as fuk good daily fitment

I'd say u may face problems but would really depend how low you are and how much camber. I would suggest rolling guards as well. I'm on 17x7 +24 on 215/45 and lots of scrub when it was lowered past the tyre. Had to raise it about an inch so there was gap between wheel and guard and now only scrubs when I hit dips in the road. On the other hand, I previously had 17x8 +35 and that was perfect with guards rolled and low.

Is negative camber really required to run 17x7.5+30 on 215/45?

Cause Im thinking maybe I can just get the guards rolled and raise the car up if it is required to, to run that set up.

At the moment, Im running stockies 17x7+45 on 215/45 and its just about 2-3cm above the tyres. At a good height, no scrubs or anything.
