^ first do your research.

stance or hsd.

why do you need spacers for stock wheels?

do you need to pull the fenders? what wheels are you getting and what size?

as far as quality I would choose StanceGR+ over Ksports.
Wheels try doing another set of varrstoen's if you like to go that right. There releasing new rims almost monthly it seems...Keep in mind there all custom drilled so I say talk to Dom about getting that done

They are different. I have stance and my brother has hsd. They look different. ( dampening adjustment is in different places) and his hsd made him get a good 2 inches lower then me on the same overall sized tire.
Mikey he was at your height but on 18s

maybe its just my inexperience, but it seems like our cars require a lot to achieve true stance. i was looking at the 8th gen civic forum and they all seem to be able to get it with just wheels, tires, and coilovers lol

More universal bolt pattern=better offsets and widths

Hey, for all the truly aggressive fitment guys, any way you guys could tell me what your overall height on your wheels are? I'm thinking bout running a tire that would put me at roughly 25" which is only .3-.5 inches taller than OEM. 17x9 245/40-17 oh and for a 17x9 +25 or+35?

are you going to have to use adapters? if so, 245's are not gonna happen at all. fender destruction. well it would just melt yours away

That cant be corect, for him to be 2" lower, the coilover would need to be noticibly smaller.

they are slightly different, but basically the same.

I have a picture to prove it. Before botd we slammed his all the way and rubbed non stop just driving it around my street. And it was crunching his exhaust. So he raised it enough to drive it and he was still lower then me.
