Flared Wheel Wells? - HondaClub.com

Added bigger/wider tires to my civic (205-50-WR15) and want to lower it at the same time. Need more room in the wheel wells. Anybody ever cut/flare wheel wells on a 4th gen civic?

yeah, with 50's you'll be close, 40's would help you a bunch. 205/40/17 are an ez fit....

n1delsol --- or anyone.... i am considering 215/40/17's next.... will they fit or do I have to drop to a 215/35/17??????
