Wheel Fitment Charts!

I'm planning on getting 18x8.5 +38, 235/40/18 SuperSports (the warranty is just crazy good) dropped on StreetAdvance coilover to just above the tire (not super low or slammed at all just a nice little drop and improved ride quality).

Would front camber be neccessary, I'm assuming rear will be -- at least a little bit? Also do you all think the wheel/tire setup will fit without rubbing? I really can't stand the stretched look at all so I'm trying to get the tire that will fit the wheels the best without rub.

Well I will know very soon in about 2 weeks. I have 18x8.5+35. Going with 235/40/18 S-drives and going be lowered on pro-kit with camber arms to be safe. Once I get mine on you will know how your fits. There is only a 3mm difference between our setups.

Sounds good! Whenever I get mine on (still working on buying the wheels) I'll post up here as well to add to the spreadsheet!
 
Heres my setup

BBS LM's Front 18x8 rear 18x9 +35 offset sedan drop: 3/3.75 camber: 0/-2 fender roll: yes Tire size: F-215/35R18 R-215/40R18 Rubbing: Very minor(only going up drive ways) Spacers:No

 
Would I be able to rock a 17x8 +28 wrapped in 215/45 with a 2.25 drop in the front and a 2 inch drop in the rear, with no rubbing or fender modification?
 
245/40-18 is not a good size tire for the 9th gen Civic, or any other generation Civic for that matter. S2KJay is on 225/40-18 I'm pretty sure and I'd say that's a tad too big for our cars, but he's stretching them over 9.5" wheels, so that probably takes care of a couple hundredths of an inch in overall diameter. 235/40-18 on 8.5" wide wheels is going to be too big. Of course, this is all assuming you'd like the car to function properly. If you're just going for a certain look, I can totally understand. I had 15x8 +10r +25f Equip 03s with 195/45s on an EJ1 before, so I understand not giving a **** about maintaining close proximity to stock tire size, but I just figured I'd let everyone know that 245/40-18 is entirely too big for a Civic.

Hmm rather saddening, don't know what I was expecting I guess...225/40/18s seem like the only way I'll get the 18x8.5s to fit I guess. Was really hoping the 235s would be okay especially with some of the fitment numbers in the spreadsheet saying no rub on some crazy numbers.

I have the 225/40/18s with no issues at all no fender work or anything. With the 235/40/18 you are going to have to run camber for sure. Maybe roll the fenders In the rear. But that depends on how low you go
 
guys got a question , if im going to put an 235 40 17 on a x9 +35mm , do i have to have camber to make em work right ? or do i need to work on my fender ? im not gonna drop my car too low , just an inch and half . thanks in advance
 
You'll need camber, at least. I'd start with that before I did anything to my fenders.

I haven't measured it out, but I want about half a finger space between tire and fender look (not slammed just a little drop compared to some here) to give an idea of how low.

So you don't even have rear camber with the 225s?
