those wheels look great i like them too but imo i'd get 15's cause even with a drop i think 17's on a hatch look like a$$ and ride like crap. i had a set of 17's on my 92 hatch and i hated them try tirerack.com they have them in 15's

 

well rolling the fenders is very easy to do.... to prevent wrinkling the fenders you just go little by little and use a heat gun to keep the paint preaty warm so it will be flexable while doing so will prevent alot of the paint cracks/chips.
BUT even if it does chip up the paint your only rolling the inner fender lip so its hidden, but just get some touch up paint to match and brush it on and youll be fine!


i dont know of anyplace that DOES fender rolling BUT check out some of your local tuner shops and HOPEFULLY they can do it for a reasonable price...
OR just buy a tool off ebay and use it... and sell it. thats what i did!

those people so call RENTING the tool out on ebay are jokes! HUGE deposit which is ruffly 100bucks more than the tool is brand new! PLUS THEIR RENTAL FEE like 90bucks its a joke!
best to just buy the tool new or used and sell it after your done.



the rear is the only ones that REALY need to be rolled.... the front fenders you can simply use a rubber hammer and give them afew mild hits on the plastic tabs that hold in the inner fender. i think theirs like 3-4 small tabs just leave the inner fenders on and hit those spots alittle to bend them up. ALOT easier than using the fender roller up front cause they are only small mounting tabs that can get in the way.

 

good grief i mean its this simple if it rubs it doesn't fit and to make it fit i'm not going to roll my fenders i will just get the right size wheel and tires, and to the op get 15's and you will be happy

 

Rolling fenders = ghey I was pissed at my stepbrother for rolling one of mine cause the metal was replaced at one time and wasn't even. so it hit the tire. so instead of grinding it down he rolled it all.

Just get wheels that will fit and you will be 100% happy

 

well the correct wheel.... what offset-size is the correct size then?????

i dont think ive seen a PERFECT SIZE for fitment on any lowered civics.......

besides stock wheels/tires that is. only reason i had to roll mine was cause its lowered and i wanted zero camber.

id like to get some rims for my 94coupe but its hard to find some wheels that arent to wide since most are 7inches wide. i want sidewall protection for my rims if i buy some new...

 

I think I will go with Peg's suggestion of getting 15 inch in the same wheel, it probally will look better. I ve seen a few hatches here with 205/55/r15 tires and wheels lowered and they seem to look just right, 17 might be a bit overkill on a little hatch. Plus I am looking to go performance wise with this car so definitely better for that with a 15 inch light weight wheel. I don't really want to start messing with rolling the fenders. Out of civic topic, but does anyone know the bolt pattern on a 1991 nissan sylviaIs it 4 bolt as well? I might actually sell my hatch and buy one im looking at because I just don't think I could stand another summer without ac. (If the car is a daily driver, but I might just make it a track type use of a car)

 

i think the real JDM silvias are 5 lug
edit: found a pic of a 1990 its 5 lug

Hey Peg I found them, how do the specs on these look?

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...amp;sort=Brand

I think ill go with these and some tires off of tirerack

 

I have some 17/205/40 lowered with Eibach springs..Tuck in really nice I don't rub or hit at all. It's all on the offset of the wheels..This are mounted on my 00 SI

 

offset is 37mm so they should work i have a 15x6.5 40 mm off set wheel on my hatch, oh my hatch with 17's
