They look goofy because you probably have incorrect tire sizes if i had to guess.

If you have the money, go for the bc or stance. However I've bad both Megan and TopSpeed with no problems. The TopSpeeds are noisy though.

With a two inch drop you will more than likely need front arms to get all the way back into spec..

Tires are Continental DWSs 255/40/18. Whats the lowest I can go up front without having to get aftermarket camber arms. 300-400 bucks on top of coils and rears is a bit too steep for me atm..

I promised pics, I will deliver.

This is my HR ZR on XXR 530s. Lowered on Eibach Sportlines, no spacers, as soon as I get my refund I plan on buying them. Any suggestions on which sizes? I'm thinking 15mm front 25mm rear.

They're 18x8.75 and the tires are 225/45/18 and 245/45/18. (Yes my front is stretched, I like it )

The fitment's not that bad, needs spacers for sure. They're my tires off of the oem wheels, I dropped $1200 on tires and wasn't planning on replacing them for xxrs.

Big blob of blackness, that's why black wheels suck.

You wheel specs really suck too, just order new XXR wheels, they cost about the same as spacers.

That picture is with a shitty phone filter, hence why the wheels look like blobs. And they don't make xxrs in sizes that will fit my tires any better. And I'll take $100 in spacers over $600 in wheels.

You should have just bought the correct offset wheels the first time. I'm pretty sure they make those in 9.75" which would have been a lottttttt better

Really do your homework. XXR offers good sizing in certain wheels. Look at that huge gap in the rear wheel in the second set of pics he posted. Gonna need 50mil spacers.

Sigh, I wish people would read the original post. This was the best size I could do with my tires. I'm not going to go buy new $1200 tires for $400 wheels. I was merely asking what spacers I should run. I guess it's as much as I possibly can.

P.S. It's she.

If you would have thought about it.. It would make more sense. Once those tires are done, you could have upgraded to better sizes, but since you got civic sized wheels, now you're stuck with them.

225/245 on a 8.75" wheel actually wouldn't be that bad.

Well a bad call on your behalf. Should've just used your tires then saved up. 10-15 mil spacers are ok. Anything above that I would be skeptical about.

They are 225/245 on a 8.75 wheel . . . I don't know what you guys are going on about. Those are the stock wheel sizes for the car. Well, 8 and 8.5. Close enough, so idk how they're "civic sized" mine are bigger than stock.

EDIT: In addition I can just trade these xxrs for slightly larger ones in the event I even keep the car long enough to need new tires . . .
