Hi guys,
I have a 2015 civic si coupe with stock suspension (will get lowering spring later), I'm looking at a set of 18x9.5 +34 wheels, will it be cleared with my suspension? or do I have to get +20 offset, but then will rolling fender be needed?
Thanks.

What is the tire dimension you'll be putting on? I don't believe you'll have clearance issue with an 18" rim on stock suspension. If you lowered it, rubbing might be an issue depending on your tire width.

Hey there,

The wheel will definitely clear your suspension. The offset is low enough you should have plenty of room on the inside for the wheel barrel itself. It will be close though. Also, you should be able to clear the fender as well depending on how low you end up and what size tire you run.
There is some info in this thread here:

Someone on an 18x9.5 +10 rolled his fenders to fit them. Your offset is higher so you may get away with it. Sk8nava said he ran 18x9.5 +25 Rotiform NUE on 215/40 tires: No rubbing issues on stock fenders.


I would recommend you be ready to do some fender work if needed but it appears you can fit that wheel, although with a very stretched tire. I do not recommend anyone run stretched tires due to safety but that is personal choice. Also you will probably want to get rear camber arms to be able to adjust the rears if needed for a little more clearance. The lower you go the more negative camber you will gain in the rear so its possible you won't need them.

Thanks folks. I'll be using 225/40 r18 tires, which according to the chart it fits 9.5" reasonably.

but @S2KJAY said for his setup he had to dremel his strut to get it cleared. He uses 18x9.5 +38 with the same tires as I'll be using.

Because mine is +34 so I guess I can just slip through? now I'm worried about the fenders because Im going to low the car, but not much. Like two fingers maybe.
