I was going to get a set of Pansports for my civic, looked like the offset was bout the same. I love it no matter what anyone says. Its nice and best looking NHBP I have seen since Varner painted his Championship white, then went AWOL

the wheels are work ewing III
16x8 et6 front and 16x8.5 et10 rears. oh i def kno that some people are gonna not like this look. i was ready for that.
the main reason i chose to set the car up like this is because there is no coupe in japan...there for no real JDM market. in UK there is a ukdm specific coupe so i chose a euro approach. anyone farmiliar with euro style cars knows the use whats called tire stretch and poke. wide wheels with a "not so wide tire" and poke is tastefully letting the tires poke out of the body allowing the stretched tires to smooth out the look

I just can't imagine having reasonable adhesion with any large amount of lateral load, with sidewalls angled like that.
Can anyone confirm/deny?

i loved the way the car sat when it had the sportmax ones and this one's even better. so sexy. im not feeling the yellow fogs though, but that's just me.
