Tein S-Tech's installed
Don't forget about WelleslyScion's ride on 18x9.5" +35 offset XXR's with S-Tech's also. His looks sweet, not too aggressive imo.

If you wanna run the flush look do it right and get an 18x9.5 with a 38 or 30 offset and stretch a 225/40/18 tire on it and drop the car to where it has no gap! Wheel gap kills. I have a 1st Gen running an 18x9.5 +38 with a 225/40/18 tire and I'm dropped as far as my coilovers can go in the front and I barely ever rub. You got to pay to play.
Tanked, the +35 fits, but you need more camber than the Tein's provide in the front to flush the tire with the fender. Otherwise it would hang out. Its this reason that I recommended the +40-45. I just put 3mm custom spacers on mine and they are very flush in the front but could still go more in the rear. Just the design of the car.
In short, I think your's looks awesome. Wouldn't change a thing!

225/40/18 wouldnt look good to me...at all. My old civic was setup like that and I grew tired of it after 4 years. I like that I can go over a speed bump now and not have to worry about hitting parking blocks if i pull a lil too far. I have payed & played
I basically wanted an offset that looked clean and didnt look "sunk". Mission accomplished.
There is a 1 finger gap after the springs settled. And for the spacers, I keep looking at them but I really rather spend the cash on some other things!
Thanks for all the love and help from all, its good to be a part of such a good group of peeps.
