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

maybe a 205/40/16?

0 offset doesn't work on our cars the wheel sticks out way to far evan if you had obscene amounts of negative camber it wouldn't work. your best bet is 16×8 +15 offset with 195/50/16-195/45/16 or your best bet 205/40/16 but with falken 912 tires they stretch the best. but in order to really pull off the look you need no fender gap. thr picture is 16×8 +15 xxr 501s with falken 205/40/16 tires.

thinking of stretching nitto neo gens
205/40/16
because of reinforced rubber on the inside for negative camber
harder rubber on the inside last longer and then softer rubber on the outside for grip
i currently run these on my 17x7's and they are amazing for negative camber last twice as long as my cheap kumho ecsta's

reinforced sidewalls don't take to stretching very well on moderate to mild stretches thats why people prefer falken plus falkens are very cheap.

you really should have gotten 16s. with 15s you should have gone 195/50/15 falken like these.

 
Rep Power: 0

im on 205/50
but im tucking tire

 
Rep Power: 272

16s look better on our cars. you can run 205s or 195s for a mild stretch. I run 17x9 +22 with 205/40/17 on my car with just rolled fenders.

Carl's em2 really looked best with those wheels, they suit it so much better than the gold plated work or ccws.

i like but weres the side shot you should have gone 195/50 or 205/40 though. also did you see the new ones that are black chrome i think i mite get a set since the 521 is impossible to get in 16 flat black.

Car looks sick man. Hey I got a question I'm looking at a set of xxr 502 in a 18x9.5 rear and am curious if I can fit that in the front as well? I'm going for a hellaflush look thanks for the input

 
Rep Power: 285

What's the off-set of the 502s?

It's possible to fit up to a 20'' rim on a 7th gen with reasonable off-sets.

 
Rep Power: 0

im pretty sure its a +35 offset on thoes rims. im just curious how bad it would rub when i turn being a 18x9.5 in the front

 
Rep Power: 285

A +35 offset is totally do able, you'll probably need to roll the fenders but you shouldn't need to run much camber.

so how bad is the tire wear on these cars? They look awsome, but for a daily driver, would u go through tires quick as hell?

what do you mean with negative camber ???
