theyl fit. also, the stock offset is +40, or around there, with a +30 offset im sure theyl fit fine, if not ill throw on a small spacer.

fenders are going to get rolled. man, its funny how uninformed this forum is about wheel fitment as opposed to the civic forum im also on.

i spent the past 4 hours researching wheel fitment, offset, etc. lol. so im getting it down. with my offset it should only stick out an extra .8 or so of an inch more max than the stockers. the brembos should fit because of the lower offset im getting, and there should be no clearance issues. maybe some rubbing tho until i roll the fenders.

and i hang out on the civic forums (8thcivic) becuase its just fun. they have some crazy wheel fitment shyt over there.

you got it backwards. too much posative offset would leave less room. adding a spacer lowers the offset. for example, if you have a +40 offset, and you ad a 3mm spacer, your offset is now +37.

keep in mine these are 18 X 9.5's. also saw a pic of these wheels on an evo X, cleared the brembos and had a +12 offset.

pedders and konis struts are fine enough for me, id rather not have coilovers.

im not trying to do the slammed with big wheels look. just something simple like this, more for function anyways.
