Help :(

Ok guys i need your help.
I have a 1998 honda civic and i just got some xxr's 530 16x8.25
I just mounted some 205 55 16 tires on them.
What do i need to do so they can look good and tucked.
i put one on but it interferes with the bumper and the tire sticks out a bit...
what should i do?

Re: Help :(

first you should have bought 205/40/16 tires second you need to roll your fenders then you need a camber kit for massive amounts of negative camber and of course coilovers that go low enough.

Re: Help :(

safely yes 205/40/ and why would you buy low offset 8 inch wide wheels if you wanted to tuck tire that size is usually used for the flush look or hellaflush.

Re: Help :(

older civics look better with 15s in my opinion but thats up to you what you want but your still going to need smaller tires,fender roll,negative camber with a 8 inch wide wheel.
