Will they fit?

[DodgeC]

I have a 2014 Civic EX on stock rims and tires and im looking to upgrade, i have skunk 2 lowering springs and im wondering if rims that are 18x9.5 22 with tires that are 225/40R18 will fit without having to roll my fenders?

How much of a drop from stock height are we talkin'?

I haven’t had a chance to put the springs on, but from what I’ve seen its 2.25 inches in the front and 2 inches on the rear.

This is a similar outfit -- not lowered from what I can tell. A two inch drop would put you right on the money from what I'm getting with my mind's eye, but there's always a little wiggle room here and there. I'm going to hypothesize that it won't rub, but it'll be really close to rubbing.

You’re going to be 1mm wider than this pic above.

If I saw a Civic like that in traffic I'd whistle at it

not worth the trouble. if its a daily driver it will get old real quick. rubbing makes your drive a lot less fun. thats my opinion. i had 18x8.5 +35 with 225/40 tires lowered all the way down on tein basis coilovers. when i destroyed a rear tire because of -3 camber in the rear to fit them i gave up.

I’d also say far from “safe” with that tire stretch

Too much stretch and definitely gonna need to roll fenders. I respect the drop, but without some rolling and maybe a lil pulling of your fenders, it's gonna be a bit risky.

Any rim and tire dimension set ups that would be better suited for my car then? I feel so dumb talking about wheels lol

Don't feel dumb! Wheels are a complicated component of car functionality. Getting a risky setup could make your car dangerous to drive-- so ask any questions that pop up. As far as recommendations, the only one I can think of is to try to avoid too much tire stretch-- especially for dailies. Is there a rim you're interested in that's slightly narrower?

I cruised around on 18x8.5 with +35 offset on sk2 spring and didn’t scrape unless under crazy hard turns. Anything more aggressive then that ur gonna need camber work.
