most preferred rim size for civic sedan
 

between the 2, which size would you prefer based on looks (wheel gap) & performance?

hey guys, i need some advice on choosing rims sizes.

i drive an 04 sedan and i'm installing the eibach prokit.

which tire size would accentuate with the springs better and not create a major gap or chances of rubbing.

thanks bro-ski's

Bro ski... :lol: I'll post up a pic on 17's! (just cus their new shots)

17 inch rims with a 4 inch drop on 215/45/17 Nito Neo Gens!

bro ski

17's look great, but 16's look good as well. i was debating this, but i have decided on 16's for my sedan because they are cheaper and still look great imo

16's.

anyway, do you have any pics of the rims in mind?

^^ yeah I like mauls 16"'s..http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...21#post3861321

16"-18" looks nice imo.

That Shit is HOT^^^^

16's are a little easier to "spin" IMO

i have a set of 18's with a 225/40/18 with eibach prokits as well but also using kyb agx's. in all honesty the 18's are too big. i think 17's are perfect but you will need a 215/45/17 to fill in the wheel well gap. i have about and inch now with the 18's and 225/40's so the 17's with 215/45's will be about the same. the pics that i have are already uploaded in the site so i cant repost them here but i do have pics in the clean 7thgens thread

17 if you dont mind the more harsh ride compared to 16 (and more rubber). I chose 16 b/c my Civic was a daily driver and I'm in NYC so.............

it all depends on the tire as well. you can get a similar size sidewall for the 16 as you can for the 17. so basically its down to what size do you like. i personally dont like bubly tires. i love the way a 215/45/17 looks just enough tire not too much rims or tire, but that is me :)

18s mang.....with a small drop is all you need. but im gonna be tucking them soon with my d2 full coilovers i just got...

and thats with a 215/40/18 tire

if you want better pics i can take better pics for you if you want. this is with the suspension im selling now...my tein s.techs with tokico blues and stock 02 upper mounts.

16s for comfort, 17s for look

thanks guys for the replies, reasong i am asking.. my friend is selling some Rota GT3 16'' for a really cheap price w/ tire but only 50% tread left.. and i was about to grab them..


if i dont get them myself i will be happy to sell it to you guys

yup exactly. i have decided on 15s because of performance. but with 15 its really hard to find a rim that looks good.

^^ those si rims are 16s right? iuno, i know you have eibach prokit.. i just want the same drop as yours because honestly it looks real clean man.

You have an 04 EX right?
I'd keep the stock 15' rims and get some 205s later.

If I had the chance I'd trade my 17s for some 04/05 EX rims anyday.

Just noticed you are in GG...funny that I've never seen your car on the road before.

rob (spoonem) has a set of rota grids in royal bronze as well and he is local too. the gt3's would be sick on a MM EM2 in red

i still dont get why most ppl prefer the gt3's in red. i know its the jdm fad thing to do.

FYI: the GT3's are in gunmetal, 16''. PM me for price.

my si rims are 15s!
