I was wondering if 18''x 7.5 rims and tires will fit on a 92 honda civic. If so do i need any special struts or springs? Any other mods?

 

prepare to get flamed....and they'll fit but you'll run into some rubbing issues

 

u think im better off stickin with 17'' rims on my civic?

 

I think you would be better off getting 16s. IMO both 17s and 18s are to big for civics.

 

Depends what you are planning on doing to your car man. I have 17's...most people (on HAN) dont like anything bigger than 16s. My car is slow and I know this and I liked the low profile tires so I went with 17s...if I ever turbo my car (and I hope to) I'd drop down to lightwieght 15s or 16s.

So if you're just going blang blang get some 17s but please no chrome. :awais:

 

17s and 18s are a big no no on civics....stick with 15s or 16s and go light-weight....your car wont be as slow with such huge rims...oh and when you put such big rims on your car you'll need to drop it more to make it not look like a monster truck so the ride quality would be horrible

 

OPINION.

Ive seen lots of cars that look amazingly clean/good with 17s. Be different and get what you like and think looks good. If you have a good suspension setup with your 17s, the ride will be fine.

 

..................never said they didnt look good :slap:

 

thats right you just said....

there a big no no, but they look good. :blah:

 

If and when you do decide to put a set of 18x7.5" wheels on your civic, there are certain things that must be met in order for you to use these size wheels without much problems.

You want to get 18x7.5" wheels with at least a +42mm offset (more would be better, up to a +45mm offset). The tire size that you must mate with these wheels are 215/35/18. Make sure that your alignment is up to specs. If you have a camber kit and a set of adjustable coilovers, that's an added plus.

If you've met all of these requirements, then you could install a set of 18's on your car without much problems. The one other thing that you might have to do is eliminate your inner fenderwell lining. But you rubbing your tires on these would solely depend on how low you decide to drop your car.

A lot of people go for 15's and at most 16's on older model civics, but I think that the newer model civics (usually 7th gen on up) can handle 17's or even 18's with no problems. Of course with these newer model civics, they have bigger fenderwells then their older counterparts, so they can handle the bigger wheels sizes as well as provide room for bigger sidewalls for these wheels.
