    8 is way too wide for your car. Sell them for 6's, maybe 7's. please.

    i know itll fit. Plenty of guys have done it. But i stand by the statement that 8's are way too wide for a civic.

    Polish the backside of the wheels then mount them with the faces inward. BOOM!!! Winning!

    Going to have to roll the fenders and camber depending on how low you want to go.

    definitely trade them for 15x7's and at least an et of 30.

    that is how you make 15x8, et0 look good on a civic...
    You're right - I have no idea what I'm talking about...

    Spanky's hatch is no doubt sick, dont matter what anyone says.. his car is a icon of the low offset Honda's. back on topic, to fit 8's you HAVE TO stretch your tires... there is no way around this unless the car is jacked up in the sky. + negative camber
