You'll never be able to lower it without chewing out your fenders. You might even have to raise it. How lame. _________________

from 200$ to 2000$.
Doesn't look like your going to be able to lower it much, those wheels will chew your fenders. _________________

Or fenders will chew away at your tires..
I cant say I dont like big rims on cars, *coughCapriceon22's*
But they have never appealed to me on our year Civics.. maybe on some of the other civics. but not EF's 16's are ok but ot has to be the right kinda wheel. But if you liek it more power to you _________________ EF Sedan Squad #129

By the looks of your pictures, you only have about 1" before your giant wheels will start rubbing on your fenders during corners. _________________

Yes, but maxspeed said that's because the guy who had the car before
me did not put the right type of plate behind where the door handle was. But we are going to fix this before we finish painting
my car which should be by the end of june or the middle of july.
