Wheels and Size for EK Civic

**RobboEK** · 09-11-2009 12:23 PM

Hi guys,

Over the weekend i put in my Pedders Rear Camber adjusters and noticed my rear passenger wheel is buckled and banged up pretty badly on the inside.

Currently i have a set of SSA Detox wheels (17x7) however this wheel isn't made anymore apparently. So i was lookin at buying a new set of wheels and tires.

There are a few in the Tenzo-R range that i dont mind and most of the are made with a 4x100 pattern. I'm also thinking of going to an 18x8 (will they fit?)

Basically i'm looking for suggestions on what i should get and to find out if anyone has used the tenzo wheels on their civic before and what they are like.

imo 18's would look out of place and a bit ridiculous on a EK. each to their own though

put 18's and slam it otherwise no will look out of place

ask MRGRIM for pics of his car, i remember him saying he had 18", depends on what you like and type of rim, but be careful, as i am rubbing my guards with 15" after lowering my car, however this is due to 2 extra mates in the car though. But yeah, you gotta lower the car, as increasing the rim size may actually increase your height of your car.

I was told 18's are too big. 15-17's would be your best option. Depending what your using your car for; just for show or for performance.

nah 17'' is still to big, look at my car as an example.

its only been less than 4 months and i regret buying it already.

honestly 17 is ok BUT it depends on the wheel itself.. if you want to slam your car i would suggest 15 or 16

i've seen alot of 17s they look fine to me. I'm running 16s, but more for the tyre profiles etc than anything else.

I got 17's on my EK and they go great. can't complain mate............ =]

If you ask me, 17's are fine. My 17's look really small, mainly because I have a body kit on.

Hope that helps

I miss my 17s for the 205 coverage over the 195 coverage of the 15s on it at present

all sizes (15+) can look good when setup fine with the suspension
