well I honestly bought the car because it has a factory turbo and its sporty.

But regardless ill be ordering 18x10.5 +15 or 18x10 +0 wheels soon running a 265 or a 255 tire minimal stretch to my standards.

Do what YOU want. Idk why most of you making a big deal relax. Your the one who paying around 35k for the car. If you like being hella flush or stanced then do it. Who cares what everyone says as long as your happy with YOUR car.
Good luck and welcome!!

Yea! If u like that then do it! I'm running 18x9.5 +15 with a 245 why? Because It looks way better then having a fat tire. It's not like I track my car or anything.

Bravo guys, bravo!!

OP, there's a reason the hella-flush look is raging like wildfire amongst certain car groups - if you can't make your car fast, might as well try to make it at least look good. Do note the key word in that sentence - TRY!

Oh, & from a former Honda guy to another, welcome to the Evo community!

Somehow, a person can pull off a stanced/hellaflush look on a Civic. They seem to go together even though I had my Si set up for handling. On the Evo, it is an oxymoron. Totally different car as well as the league it is in. Civics show off. Evos walk silently and carry a big stick. Let the Honda ricers do their thing.

What he said, lol.

I think the buy in for an evo weeds out the ricers but a few get in. Not saying the OP is a ricer but most people put different rims on so they can throw on 275's all the way around for the road course. The slammed red X looks decent but where i drive that front lip wouldn't last a week.

As you can tell this site is more focused towards driving enthusiasts than "show and shine." I'd rather throw on a FP black than a set of rims but thats just me.

Hey man, I think that civic looks good. Probably a pain in the *** to drive but it looks good. Ive had plenty of slammed Honda's in my day but I love being able to DRIVE my evo. Its a different animal all together. Do what you like.

There are plenty of stances evos. You just have to go to the right spot......like where you posted your civics rims for sale(WFC). Search me, or check the stanced thread in the evo8/9 section. If you are looking for evo x stanced cars.....there is a evo x with 19x11 volk re-30. I think you should be ballzy, do 19x12 w/255 tires
