Our Civic Fitment Guide contains tailored information for a range of wheel and tire setups specific to the Civic. As enthusiasts ourselves, we’re mindful of the unique needs that each chassis presents when attempting to optimize wheel fitment and this vehicle is no exception. Our 7th Gen Civic Fitment Guide goes into great detail on exactly what modifications are needed to achieve the exact fitment you’re looking for.
Brake Clearance Information
In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.
Important:
- Some of our wheels use a center bore of 73.1mm hubcentric rings are needed to center the wheels properly on the Civic's 64.1mm hub. Additionally, the Civic compatible wheels require aftermarket lug-nuts with a 60° tapered seat.

Whether you are a casual weekend track warrior that still enjoys your car on the street, or a hardcore racer competing for a spot on the podium, negative camber is a vital part of chassis setup that has many benefits. Not only will adding negative camber create more room for wider wheel and tire configurations, it more importantly improves handling, turn-in and tire longevity.
