I personallly would not ride them if you had to roll at stock height. I personally dont think you have to. I was dropped 2 inches on 19's and never really had alot of problems. But definetly put the 20's on screw everyone talking crap just cause they dont like big rims. I mean its not like our cars are speed machines he might as well ride clean. I myself would be riding some 20's now if i had the money. But they would be gunmetal or something of the sort. But anyway try the 20's with like a 1 inch drop or so but i dont think it would look great at stock height but willl still be clean to have.

There really isn't anything wrong with 20's.

Well referring to the topic now.- They should fit at stocked height, I switched from 18's to 21's on a 01 Sedan I managed to lower it 2 inches after a little bit of work, not major.

I know you guys will bitch but I'll post a picture soon, it doesn't look bad.

21's on 35s' with a digital spinner kit, lowered...Yes, they're chrome...Car is silver with a mirror tint so it don't like bad.

As far as the beating on the civic, I'v had these wheels on the car for about 15k miles and the car is still in the same shape...drives the same, same performance.

all ima say

is 20's w/ oem susp=rubs=looks gay

YOU WANT A SUSPENSION WITH MINIMAL SUSPENSION TRAVEL
IDEAL U NEED 225/30/20 BFG KDW2 TIRES

IF YOUR CHEAP WHICH YOU PROLLY ARE AND CANT AFFORD 350/EACH TIRE ULL NEED 225/35/20

buy nice coilovers WITH LITTLE SUSPENSION TRAVEL

tein ss/ ssp /flex

then slamm and tuck the mother fuc.king tires

suspension travel causes rubbing and bottoming out.

dont post anymore solutions ive had more 19's then anyone on site and have been thru everything

and my last setup i was tucking entire goddamn tire with no rubbing

FRONT and back

hey, sorry if i haven't posted for a while but yeah, im going to see if the wheels clear in the front with my 1.4" drop and try to roll the fenders in the rear and if that doesn't work, im just gonna have to put it back on stock springs. I took my wheel off yesterday and i happen to have Goldline Lowering Springs. Don't know much about them but yeah. I'll keep you posted. Thanks guys for the motivation.

This is my first post and damn this whole negative .....why would you put 20s on a civic or anything is pissing me off? Damn are you thirsty.......would you like some more Hatorade? I think the bigger the better. If I could fit chrome 36s on my beetle I would probably do it. Right now I have Lexani 18s on it. But, I can always put 20s on my 350Z. People do what they want to their cars because thats what they like and it makes them happy. Each car is modidfied by its owner to be an individual. I know I don't like 16s. So if you like chrome 20s, spinners, or gold 100 spokes do what you want to your car...just don't be such a hater.

in reality it is very true what u say...its your car u do what u want... and that is exactly my attiude towards people that hate on my car.. i dont give a **** what anyone says how big my wing is, how ricey my car is. sometimes i get "what? u think ur stickers are going to give u 100HP" or "are u goingto fly with that?" mostly everyone in this site knows that my car is NOT an HP machine and in fact its a show car.. but sometimes u get some newbees hating big time...if it looks good to me thats all that matters... so if u like 20's get them but one thing i know, because i saw it on that blue 7thgen that i posted, is that rear camber is prolly gon be a bitch to fix... the rear tires of that car were sooo close to the fender and the fender was shaved on the inside... look in to it to see how that canbe corrected because i kno my tires are expensive at 18" i can image how expensive they are 20".. and u dont want to be blowing tires left and right... good luck post pics if u get the 20's

Ok, i got the 20's on and they fit with my 1.4" drop front and a little rubbing in the back. I know all of you have been telling me to roll my fenders in the rear and i was wondering if there was an easy way to do that? i tried getting a baseball bat and it didn't bend it much, still is sticking out and rubbing. let me know if there is a thread or something i can read. Thanks guys and i will post pics.

This is a car forum, not a teen youth hotline. The purpose is to give your views and thoughts on topics, it just so happens that 95% of people think 20"s on a Vic is a bit GROSS. So take your *** over to HONDATECH and let them listen to your whining.

P.S. I am a hater of all things, not just 20"s on a Civic

YO wassup, Aight man it gose like this the best bat to use is a strong wooden one it good to have a small 2x4 with you maybe like 5" or so. for the back use your stock tire drop the car alittle so where you can stick the fat end of the bat in from there you start rolling your fender out slowly don't rush it after it looks aight with you then place the 2x4 on the tire then you would use that as a litte plat form to make your fender stick out alittle more I try see if I can get the pics for you aights.........

Nha, wood is ok. You just need to get a Louisville Slugger, a hickory. It's really hard, and won't dammage the edge of the 1/4.
