18" on civic - HondaClub.com

Meds · 07-02-2007, 04:39 PM

Hey there! I have 18" alloys on my civic with 215 35 tyres on. they do rub quite a bit but look awsome!

Does anyone know how much of a job it is to roll/ flare the arches on the front of the car?

Cheers!

It is easier to by fiberglass and have a shop cut and refinish the edges so it will look better...and when you resell just take of the wheels and put the stock fenders back on.

Hmm...Sounds like a plan! thanks for the infomation

Do you reckon it'll cost a bit?

a 215/35/18 tire is a bit wide for a civic, even 215/45/17's rub on my Type R. Try dropping it to a 205/35/18.
