Hey guys just wondering if 18x10+38 is possible on a fd, stock height.
that is too much. on stock height with stock suspension, u will be scrubbing everywhere. on stock height, with coilovers, the inner clearance will be a major issue. also, with a 10" wide wheel, u will need a wider tyre, so scrubbing will always be a problem with those specs.

i rkn those 9.5 +30 rotas would have fit my car if i had my rear camber arms at that time... and some skinnier tyres. not sure if they'd hit my shocks tho..
You should be fine once you've rolled your guards...
17x8 +30 is the same outer position as the 16x7.5 +24 bbs meshies I have test fitted, which had 205/55/16's on them. Fronts had a slight poke, rears had slightly less poke. Test fitted when the EP was at stock height. You might get away with a 215/40 or 45, go a 205/45 if its cutting it too close. Inner clearences will be fine.
I have posted pics on here somewhere? I don't have access to photobucket at work, therefore can't pull up the exact pics for reference for you.

Hi all,
I've checked this thread but cant find the info I'm looking for. Basically I just want to know if I'll run into any issues if I got 18X7.5in wheels & with 225/40 tyres for my FD1 civic (VTI-L).
Offset would be either 42 or 35. My car and suspension etc is totally stock. I'm currently looking at the Work Emotion XT7 wheels.
If anyone could give me info regarding my question, that would be awesome!
would fit without any problems, ive had 18x7.5+42 with 225/40 lowered and it was still fine
btw 2nd post in the thread,
Car Model: FD
Front Wheel and Tyre Size: 18x7.5+42 and 225/40/18
Rear Wheel and Tyre Size: 18x7.5+42 and 225/40/18
Suspension: Coils
Guard Modifications: None
Issues with Setup: None
those specs are pretty safe and should be fine. btw, is there a reason why ur goin for 225 wide tyres? 215 tyres are also a common size and is the recommended width tyre for 7.5" wide wheels. but its not that much difference i guess.
member on here (markcivicvti) had some rays g-games wheels with 18x7.5 +35 specs on 225/40 toyo proxes and on stock suspension. there were no problems with it, but apparently there was some scrubbing when the car had 4 or more people in it... 215/35 or something tyres could resolve that issue if ur not wanting to do any minor guard or suspension work
+42 will definitely be fine running on 225/40 tyres. +35 may be some slight scrubbing on 225/40 tyres
thanks for the info guys - sorry I overlooked the second post, I was a little unsure if having coils or stock suspension would affect wheel fitment for that size.

I was going off the reccomended tyre sizes for civic type R, since they also use a 18X7.5on rim (but with a 55 offset)
