is the car dropped?
although its not necessary in some cases... do you have a camber kit?

well if at all possible get one just to be sure. better be safe than sorry. I've seen the 15x8 +0's on Civics but im a tad concerned with the possible difficulty of fitting the 16's. I KNOW they can fit so don't sell the wheels just cuz you may encounter some difficulties. its a Honda we always work it out.

15x8 vs. 16x8? What's the wheel size have anything to do with it? It's the tire size that counts and as long as it has the proper outside diameter it will fit the exact same. Go up a wheel size then need got go down a size in profile/series on the tire.

yea 16x8s are a tight squeeze but a little bit of rolling and youll be ok.Depending on the profile tire you are trying if its not 205/40/16 then you might have a problem.

The problem with 16's is the lack of tire size. Try to find a 195/40 or 195/45. If all else fails go 205/40. Nothing bigger.

Camber and a little roll, and your set!

doesn't have much to do with it but maybe rubbing may pose as an issue depending on how low he is? :dunno:If the tire is the same outside diameter then he can run 15, 16, 17's, or 18's and not rub any more or any less. Go up a wheel size then you have to go down a size in profile. It's common sense and simple math.

Without having an adjustable suspension ie: coil-overs and camber plates it will be difficult to fine tune the stance, especially with a deep offset wheel that's going to stick out. If you want the tucked, poked, stretched look and everything then you have to be willing to pay for quality suspension components to prevent body roll ie: sways and high quality coils & dampeners other wise you end up with dented fenders and shredded tires.

There is nothing more irritating then having a cars tires scrub because of improper fitment and inferior components!

from what i know, 205/40/16, with neo-gens. camber, with a pull in the fender or roll! then get aligned!

16 0 offset look weird on a ej, i remember seeing a guy on hondatech with that. theyll fit forsure, youll need alot of pull though but you can get em on there. the 16's look too big IMO
