Rep Power: 0 The perfect setup for a sedan with 18s??
Hey guys I need some help...I'm a new member here and yes I have searched a bit so don't flame right away. My girlfriend owns a 2k1 civic 4 door, and I'm trying to help her out with a problem she is having with her 18's. She got the wheels a week ago in the same offset as my Prelude +48, which for me works fine...but for her causes massive rubbing. She isnt even lowered at all. After a bit of searching I found that +42 is a much better offset for Civics. Anyhow, what should I do? Sell these wheels and get new ones? My question to you is this....what offset do I need to safely lower her car 1.75 inches, what kind of camber problems will she have? Below is here current setup...and then what I want to get. Any feed back would be great!
Currently:
Stock suspension w/ Volk LE-37Ts 18x7.5 w/ 215/40/18 Pirelli P7000 tires +48 Offset
I figure sell the rims and get....
Koni Yellows and Ground Controls
Racing Hart C5 Evos 215/40/18 tires with a +42 offset
Will I need a camber kit?
Thanks guys!!!

Rep Power: 346 18's will generally rub in the rear of all 7th gen civics. What you need are wheel spacers, not to buy new rims.

Rep Power: 0 I agree, find a set of wheel spacers (H&R makes them) and put those on. The LE-37's are too nice to sell!! A different tire size no wider than 215 should help too, with a 35 or 40 sidewall.
