the rims are on!

[Team XD Rob]

So for the past few years the civic has been sporting some SI rims but it was time for a change.

went from this...



to these 17x8 XXR



fronts clear easy without the plastic fender trim



still need to roll the driver rear fender a little bit more.. getting some slight rub

no curbing here, I don't get how people run into freaking curbs in the first place!

As far as the wall, that's going on the back burner and I'm building a 4th order.

What I'm trying to decide now is if I want to slam it to the ground to tuck the tires more or not

I know right, one 15" in a fourth order or even 2 12s could play nicely. From what I hear, lowering it is cool looking but bagging it (cost $) is nice because you can raise it for speed bumps and stuff.

It already has a full lowering shock/coilover system on it. It's not as easy as bags but it can be lowered or raised with a little bit of time and elbow grease. As it is I raised the rear a few turns because I didn't want to take the rims off to run to store to buy a tool I needed. Now that it's all done I can bring it down some, just not sure if I want to.

Robin and I talked and he helped me greatly with some numbers to do for the box. I'm going to put my SA12's in the 4th order.

I should have sold ya my 18's off of my Civic before I traded it in. ANYTHING would have been better then just letting them go. 1000 bucks in rims and tires and zero added to the trade in value FTL.
