Anyone have the following wheel/tire combo available for a test fit?
 
I came across a used set of wheels and tires down South but not sure how it will fit. I've researched 8thcivic.com but couldn't find anyone running the same specs for me to compare. LOL... that's probably cause it doesn't fit.

Anyways, if you have the following combination, I would love to save myself the drive down there only to find that it doesn't work.

Here's what I'm hoping to test fit:

Bolt pattern: 5x 114.3mm
Wheel specs: 18" x 9" +29 offset
Tires: 255/35/18

I've got an Acura CSX-S that are on Swift Spec-R springs (no coilovers yet) and would like to know:

(1) Will it fit?
(2) If yes, with minor fender mods like rolling or pulling
(3) If yes, with major fender mods like cutting, welding, repainting, etc.

Any help would be appreciated. If you've got the above wheel/tire specs and am able to help me test fit, please give me a call or text at 604-721-5596.

Thanks.

Did a 2 min search and found one user who is running 255/35/18 on 18x8 +45 on HFP Suspension (1-1.2" drop), stock camber without any fender work. he rubs on dips and rubs on full lock.

I am guessing you will fall under category (3) due to your offset and bigger drop.

:heckno: 255s on a csx

if you are going that route then definately under 3
if you want to be in 2 = stretchfit 225 will probably be the max you can take with minor fender rolling and some nice camber....but itll only look good if you are low i mean 1 finger width low.
but what do i know, my stance is always under construction :pokerface:

Just did a quick calc, 18x8 +45 to 18x9 +29 makes the wheel extend out another 29mm... that's a pretty big difference.

My Swift Spec-R springs drop my car 1.5" in the front and 1.2" in the back so it's a similar drop to HFP suspension.

Looks like I'll probably be in category (3).

Thanks. I am a little less than 1 finger gap at all four corners. I agree, I'll probably be in (3).

Gee, I'm really trying to justify buying the set-up because it's so mint and the tires are fresh, but at the end of the day, if it doesn't fit right then I'm just wasting my money.

That said, anyone have a set that I can test fit anyways just so I can see it for myself?
