Guys... I'm a noob when it comes to fitment so here goes.

Thinking of getting the XXR 531 18x8.5 wheels.

Which offset? +20mm or +35mm?

What tire size? 215/40R18? NO RUB PLEASE...

I have a 2012 Civic SI Coupe with Eibach Sportline Springs.

Here's a pic of my car.



Appreciate the help.

Thanks

Correction on tires... I believe it should be 225/48R18... I don't like stretched tires.

Thoughts?

With 215/40/18 you will have a stretch and probably have a minor run and with 225/40/18 will be perfect but you will rub unless you run camber (which is stupid and will wear your tires faster) or what you can do is roll all 4 fenders its a better solution and looks stock if you have it done right. Im running 225/40/18 18x8.5 +35 and I was rubbing I rolled my fenders and no have 0 rub and Im running stock camber settings.

Thanks for the reply. Looks good. What's your suspension setup? Also Eibach Sportline Springs? Yeah definitely do not want any rubbing

Small amount of camber and proper wheel rotations and wheel alignments will not affect tire wear at all.....maybe a tiny bit but not enough to worry about.
