How do i do this?

[mikey1714]

first i no this is a golf!!!! i couldnt find any pics of a civic with the wheels like this..
i have a 97 coupe n i wanted ma wheel to come out sumthing like this (this is to much) wat do i need to buy?? n how would it look on a coupe with SI??

 

[s_crowley 17]

thats just a lower offset than a stock wheel offset (si wheels are like a +42 offset)

Heres a thread with what your looking for http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1810618

theres almost 500 pages which should give you a good start

it's very hard to pull that set up off properly on civics imo...

 

[toneekay]

Wide wheels, low offset, possibly spacers (for Civics), fender rolling, probably some pulling as well, stretcheddddddd tires.... possibly need camber kit for the rear as well as the fronts, coilovers would also be ideal to adjust height and stiffness and so for.... THEN you can pull off the "hella flush" look.

But, imo, you'll never come close to the Vdubs.

lower offset rims (like sportmaxx) and probably wheel spacers, but say bye bye to your wheel bearings that puts extra strain on them

I personally don't think it looks good at all. There's a black GTI around my area I see all the time like this, I just look at it and go ... looks dumb IMO

its so hella

I get what the OP wants but I've never seen a Civic like that IRL, only in mags.

going hella flush eh? goodluck. i say find a +15 or higher offset wheel and it should sit flush without looking retarded

Here's a buddy of mines Vdub.

this is -10 offset. serious negative camber as well.

 

[toneekay]

I don't think our OP would know how to drive that low... He'll have one sexy ass ride though ;P

 

[knightxrider1]

can someone quickly explain offset. and what the flushed look is?

imo. it looks weird.

 

[Docta2002]

air suspension so you can park and have the low-look but drive safely

docta is way worng.. flush is a certain offset depending on the vehicle to set the rim flush with the fender lip> typically needing the fender to be rolled in order to not destroy your tires.
