20" Rims on an 02 Civic EX Sedan

Anyone have experience with 20" rims (8J width) and Nankang 225/30ZR20 , Reinforced 85W tires? Can I lower it? Does this suck? Seems like the wheels are flush with the lip of the wheel well body. Thanks. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Re: 20" Rims on an 02 Civic EX Sedan

Well, because I live in Atlanta... But seriously, these rims were love at first sight and I found specs to confirm they would fit. A nice sharp car vs a racer is what I'm shooting for. Besides, it's only an Automatic. After a 4-wheel run-in with a curb going about 60, I saw the opportunity to upgrade. I just didn't think they'd be so flush to the body and could limit lower-ability. Air shocks seem to be the right thing to do, but I haven't got experience with mods on these Civics... (I did convert to air shocks on a '77 AMC Pacer wagon I had when I was younger... does that say enuf?).
