I re-phrased your original post . . . I think that sums it up.
Uhhh these black 18's look much more appealing on this car than the factory 17s. Stop flaming and set your brilliant mind towards helping to answer my question next time kthx.

THose aftermarket wheels look horrible. They make the 17" stockers look like TE37s lol. I say 25mm, better yet get new wheels lol.

With offsets that look worst then stock offset I'd get 30mm spacers all around. Those do not look better then stock wheels. And you're running smaller tire sizes then stock you will not be rubbing anytime soon.

Okay, buddy, if it makes you feel good, I'll endorse your setup below. And to take it one step further, I suggest you go to a car show and showoff your nice setup. Who knows, you may get a trophy and prove everyone else wrong.

Sigh,
Z prices plummet
Kids buy z's
Put civic rims with tiny tires

Why not just keep it stock if you don't have money to spend?

holy christ, I would much rather roll on the stock wheels + spacers than those. You might think the opinions are harsh OP, but people here aren't going to BS you if it looks bad. I understand if you are on a budget, but there are much better low-cost alternatives.

Ouch , it still needs another 25mm. Maybe the proper size rear tires will help it look better.

I'm thinking about getting a set of matching 19x9 wheels in the back. Will this work alright with my 18 inch wheels up front?

What size tire should the 19s have? Up front Ill have 235 40 18

Even with the spacers it still looks like my stock wheels w/o spacers. Im not trying to be an ***, but please put the stockers back on. Sell those and run on stocks. Just save up for better wheels. I bet the stock 17s will look even better with the 25mm spacers.

Just start fresh, you will spend less money in the long run.

BTW proper size 18 inch front tires are 245/40 , 255/40 or 275/35

Holy crap...even 30mm's wouldn't be enough. You need ones that are like 2" thick, which means you should just get rid of those wheels and try again. Or just stick to the oem wheels, which are 50x better than those.

25mm looks wayyyyy better but in my opinion looks like stock offset
If I may make a suggestion...just get a new set of rims

No spacer can make these wheels look even remotely good. They're ugly anyways, and the **** poor fitment just compounds it. See what you can get for them at an aluminum recycling place. Pick up some stock wheels. They'll look 100x better than the garbo you have right now.
