ATTN: Stickydiljoe: Gen 2 Ridin on 18x7.5s!!

I just got some Motegi MR7s (Yes, the Civics of the wheel world, I know). But i got a great deal on em. They 18x7.5 with 225/40/18s. I gotta raise my car up a bit and possibly spacers on the back. I'll get some pix up ASAP, cuz me personally Ive never seen a gen 2 with this size tire/rim combo, and i WILL make it fit!

Joey: I was wonderin what size tires you were runnin on ur 18s, and if you had it lowered at all or if the tire took up all the wheel gap. I think they were 18s, all I remember is that they were gunmetal. And if you had any rubbing problems, mainly with heavy breaking or nething. And what kinda tires you got? Mines got Toyo Proxies ZF4, i think thats the model. But it needs two new tires. Just wantin to get the best grip for the buck, ya know?

are gen2's alot smaller in the wheels wells or something?
cause my 19's fit without a problem

You have to use a tire that's no wider than 225/35/18 or else you'll rub the strut in the back because they're so little room in the rear wheel well. I have a V6 on 4 cyl. springs so the car is slammed all around. I think I have over 2 1/2 inches drop up front and the back is a little bit higher. I have no problems with rubbing at all. You just have to have the right offset and correct tire size. That's the main issue.
