Re: wheel fitment
Ok, excuse my ignorance, i just figured out that our cars stock wheels have a +35 offset so then as long as you have a camber kit then wheels that come with that offset should fit without excessive tire wear or handling issues (given that they are not too wide and rub against the wheel well or fenders), is that correct?

Re: wheel fitment
and yes it would work if the offset is the same but
not if theyr 8.5in wide lol
or 18 theyll fit but your gonna need a fender roll and go from there maybe a pull...
stock wheels are like 6.5 or 7
im on 15x8 +15 offset
and i rub when i hit a big enough bump in the rear
and thats with rolled fenders
and i go through tires on the 17x7's same setup different wheels
once or twice a year
but thats with nitto neo gens
oh and new pix with those wheels with a slight stretch from nitto neo gen tires
not if theyr 8.5in wide lol

Re: wheel fitment
Megan coilovers don't go that low, if you want to slam it you probably won't be satisfied with them.
Ground controls or Progress both go very, very low and ride nicely.

Do they have the camber plates, or do I have to get a camber kit all around? Oh, an those wheels wont need much negative camber for flush right?

Camber plates aren't enough to correct camber in the rear, so you'll still need a rear kit even with megans, and camber bolts for up front are really cheap so don't let plates be a deciding factor.
Negative camber does not equal flush, off-set is what puts a wheel flush either through the specifications of the wheel or by running spacers. Negative camber is utilized when you are insanely flush and your wheels are impossible to fit otherwise, so you tilt them to fit. I'd suggest not going with +20 off-set because it's so aggressive, +25 will put flush without dealing with your tires rubbing, which considering our fenders are a bitch to roll is a good thing.

agree
and negative camber also allows you to tilt the wheel to avoid rubbing
i went for the flush look so i did a mild strtch with nitto neo gens
and camberd the wheels in just enough to clear the fender when driving under smooth conditions
so i tend to rub a tad when i bottom out or scrape lol
i could camber them in a little more but then i wouldnt be as flush
and its not that bad for me my tires arent showing any sidewall damage
and i dont want to pull my fenders cause ill want more aggressive wheels lol
so im satisfied with my setup
and thanks for the compliment
and the lip kit and side skirts are HFP
my em2 is an hfp civic from honda
H-onda
F-actory

lol just in case

i have a 2002 coupe
its slammed on d2 coilovers and im trying to go flush
i have both front and rear camber kits
ingalls front camber bolts
megan racing rear camber kits
and omni Rear LCA for more negative camber
i know not many people like the "Hella Flush" look but im gonna try for it until my swap lol
right now im sitting on 17x7 wheels with nitto neo gen 225/45/17
so a relatively big wheel tire setup
also i know not many people are fond of the whole stretched tire but im not talking about an extreme just a mild stretch
im asking for advise and help on this matter
im looking to get either 16x8's or 15x8's wheels 0 offset
im wondering if these would clear the fenders with a mild fender roll and pull
and whats a good size of tire to stretch on either set of wheels
this is not a daily civic its a garaged kept weekend fun car lol
i drive my EP3 as a daily
please if you can positive responses and not flaming nor negative responses

My civic is slammed on BR coils and my wheel setup is 15x8 with 0 offset in the front, and the rear is 15x8 with -12 offset. I’m stretching 165/45R15’s and my camber in the rear was originally about -6. This setup worked great for me! Matter of fact I never rubbed at all! Now my setup is the same except I have -10 camber in the rear and a 1 inch spacer. Rubs a little bit but the fitment is godly.
