Good lord those 19s look huge on our car. Well he did origionaly have them on his new wheels he baught for his focus hatch svt and they rubbed a little is why he took them off for a different pair. I would like to be able to make turns without that as a worry. Anyone tried this size and found it to be a big problem? Also doing this wont hurt the stock suspension will it ??
btw im a noob at some stuff I always hear about rolling the fenders what exactly is that and what goes into doing it? Wheels and these tires are goana break me.

it means basically trimming the fender metal in the wheel well so that it doesnt touch the tire.

The 20s will need some customizing in order for them to fit with a drop, but anything smaller will work even with a drop without a problem.
(depending on the wheel offset and tire size of course).
Mine is dropped on Neuspeed "sport" springs w/Tokico "blues"...19x7.5 (+44 offset) and 215/35-19 tires. Never had a rubbing issue.

why woul you completely f**k your ride quality i mean the stock ride is not evan that great just get 16s better ride and most important cheaper and it doesn't look ridiculously big.also fender rolling is easy it just takes patience a 250 doller fender roller or rental and a heat gun there's a million DIYs out there or take it to a body shop.

Besides, the 19s are for show, I use 17s for daily driving.

Glad to see that 18s will work just fine. As for ride quality that already sucks ***** no one likes riding in my car, only has 53k miles on it but its worlds worse that any other vehical ive ever riden in including my friends grand-am rocking over 130k of hard miles. There might have been somthing done to the suspension before I baught it at 24k miles I dunno but I feel every pebble in the road and it sounds like im bottoming out when I hit them, its as stiff as a freaking truck.
But my reason for the 18s was because I can get good tires for so cheap, 500set new for 200 bucks.
Does anyone have a pic of 18s on stock suspension though? If it doesnt look bad ima go for it, dont wanna drop becasue I have a warentee till 100k miles.

dude. ur fine.
i have an lx 01 4 door civic. i'm rollin' on Tenzo RS5 18'' rims with Nankang 45 tread tires. I also have my car slammed down 2 inches on Gold Line springs.
The only problem you might have is the back tires need to be offset a degree or two or else you will get rub in the back when you hit a bump...even WITH rolled fenders.
The front is fine...you can go up to 19''s on the front and maybe even 20'' with 35 tread without rub on a stock suspension...you're just going to look like a monster truck.
