What is your current wheel offset/tire size and camber setup? Now that the car won't be seeing any more of the auto x I've really been craving some 17x9 +42 wheels wrapped in 245/40 S-Drives although I don't know if they will clear the suspension and fender. As the car stands it has a very moderate drop and I run -2.2 in the front and -1 in the rear degrees of camber in the car on the stockies with some very large spacers.

Any help of advice would be appreciated.

are you looking to transition to a stance setup?

yummy!

most guys here have been running the 9.5 + 38 without much issue.

i'm thinking about a 10" with +35 for my next set-up

Yeah that's basically what I'm looking for (minus those fexpensive CCW's :icon_frown: )

I was actually looking to run either these two options;

or preferably these since I'd like to run a 17" wheel;

you can do 17x9 et30 or 17x9.5 et35 if you want to be stanced. you'll need to stretch some 215 (for 9") or 225 (for 9.5"). you could stay at et42 and run 245/40, but it wont look anything like that civic.

Yeah I was doing the math and I'd like to go with the +35's they offer but they only have a matte bronze and flat black. I really want that hyper black or the steel gray color. If I do go with the +42's I'd most likely run a 10 or 15mm spacer all around. Depending on what tire size I go with.
