Rims For 06 Civic

**gumbii** · 06-10-2007 07:25 PM

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!

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"

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

20"s on a civic = FTW
For me, id probably go 18-19 and upgrade suspensions

**gumbii** · 07-10-2007 01:15 AM

yeah i saw these shots of those rims..hence the verde ones i want..10 spoke vs 8 spokes.

im seeing alot of 18" on civic now so dont wanna head down that path 19+ for me...

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

Please elborate? what will fit on a 06 civic?

who knows the offset dimensions? nfi wat it means anyways..but any advice appreciated.

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.
