Hey guys
I want to get 20" rims for my civic, do any of you know what the legal rim size in NSW is? Is it 2" ontop of standard size?
does anyone here have 19" + rims on their civic?
here are the bad boys i want. got the idea from some civic in singapore. i reckon it looks hot!:thumbsup:

Firstly I dont think its legal but who cares. Still if you're gonna go for this sort of mod. I think stick with 19s because 20s will be ridiculously oversized on a Civic. Ive seen Civic on 19s and it looks nice.
In victoria i was told its 2" from stock. So 2006 model 16" -> 18", 2007 model 17" -> 19". Im sure you can get away with 19"s on a 2006 model. Not sure about NSW.
Ive seen 20"s on a few civic and dam it looks hot. Yours looks quite nice. For me, i would go for something like this in gunmetal grey/black with a chrome around the edge of the rim.

"Available in 20*8.5"
I don't think thats gonna work.
17s will be perfect for performance..
since u after looks i reckon 18s or 19s, depending on the $$$ you have..
and please dont be a tight ass on tyres.
20s on a civic i will LOL
:thumbsup:
20"s on a civic = FTW
For me, id probably go 18-19 and upgrade suspensions

and if i was gonna get 18's i work get work emotion rims

I believe the offset is around +44/+45.
I think 8.5 is going to cause some serious scraping when cornering.
Am no wheel expert, others can confirm if true.
it will depend on the offset if its going to fit (but rolling the fenders will be essentially for it to not rub). I use 17x7 +38 with 225/45/17 and it rubs when I hit dips at high speed. keeping the 45 offset will cause some problems with the inner clearance I believe.
hey ive 19s on my civic if u wanna have a look...
u are spose to have a engineers certificate if u have over 19s on the civic fd.

Do you have a bigger size of that pic?
ppl, plz search around
this topic has been covered many many times
yea search lol.. i started this topic AGERS ago.. max sizes that will fit
20 x 9.5 on rear 20 x 9 on front
BUT need gaurds rolled for that, 20 x 8.5 all round fit.. ofset needs to be 39 on front and 37 on rear... dont second guess... i have them and have had them fitted.
coil overs will be needed to stop rubbing.
there heavy and really slow down the car... 17" will really perform well on the car
Two Rims i'm stuck between.
These ones are hot, But I think you'll definitely notice/prone to scratches.

or
these ones

I like the black lip but i bet you in a few years, black rims with chrome lip would be a thing of the past. They could be lighter than the first ones and scatches would only make it as far as the lip.
I think the first ones are hotter. btw, i'm only getting 17 inch wheels so the first ones will look bigger.
It's a headache. Your opinions are welcome! Just to let you know, my car is black.

Actually, I'll be up that way hopefully on Saturday, I'll let you know if I get the chance to compare them up against the FD.
hey hey! Thanks yo! Let me know how it goes! :thumbsup:Quote:

I reckon if ur going purely for looks then go 20's...if you want a bit of performance out of ur rims/tyres then go down a notch 17/18's will do the job nicely...
I quite liked the original set of rims u picked out...you're the one who will be looking at them all the time...so make your decison wisely...
those lensos look Really good i love them.. was actualy going to buy them
