18x8.5+35 fits up front with no problems. I run that size. But you have a wider tire than me. It may rub when you lower it. The rears are a cake walk.

What are the asking price, if you don't mind me asking? I might be able to recommend something better in your budget, if you want...

Hmm... $500 ain't bad for 18x8.5+35 and 18x9.5+35 plus tires. Not bad at all. I can't make a recommendation on new wheels+tires for $700, so that offer looks like a winner for the time being.

Now, it ain't gonna fit flush or anything, but you can throw some spacers on them later if you get attached to them and wanna keep 'em.

And for your stock power, I'd switch to smaller tires if it were me. Those 275's are totally unnecessary for a stock KA and may even slow you down. If it were me, I'd take those front 245/40/18's and put them on the 18x9.5's. And then, I'd fit some 225/40/18 on the 18x8.5's.

The wheels posted are kinda... meh. But the deal is pretty good. But the question is: Do you want something that is just different some stock or something that will actually compliment you car And how many times do you wanna have to buy wheels? Because those wheels will not compliement your sexy kouki. If anything, they will detract from it's sexiness and eventually you're gonna want to get rid of them. Especially when you consider how having to buy buying spacers inflates the price of this setup.

The wheels can be made to fit on the car, yes. But that doesn't necessarily mean they should. If you increase your budget buy just $200-$300 or so your options would open up alot more.

MB Battles for $149 a piece. Wrap them in some 235/40/17 Federals for cheap.http://www.discounttire.com/dt...48666

Holy crap! 18x10+30 Motegi Touges. $610 for the whole set! Gonna need at least 10mm spacers when you get coilovers though...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...66703

Bottom line, there are better options available if you want to spend just a little more cash to make your car look really good, but you don't have to break the bank though. Take advantage of the fact that your car is already 5 lug!

There are already some ready made nasty width mustang replica wheels that'll fit on there. Just make sure they are the pre '05+ wheels and they should fit fine.

that's gonna look like a ricer civic with any ghetto aftermarket wheels with 4" wheel gap. don't waste your money on that bs. in fact, forget wheels right now spend that 700$ budget on some used coils or save up a couple hundred more for new coils.

i think a s14 lowered on stock SE's look MUCH better than stock height with terrible ricer reemz. cmon man don't ruin your clean car with that garbage, in fact you might as well get rid of that fake lip for some oem's.

i like meat on my tires. i have 255 in the rear, on a 9" wheel, awesome contact patch. if you want to fit them in real nice, tht becomes a issue... you might need a really good roll. idk about a pull. 275's thats really nice!

but why not save, rims and paint are the 2 most important things IMO.

Agreed..ThuG LyFe is on point with that feedback...that is a tasty blue beast and those wheels don't do anything for it, i know its all a matter of taste but don't get hyped over width...that lip will cause you to lose your players card!
