i don't think you woiuld have to raise it. I have 17's and when i switch it from stock rims to those it doesn't really make a difference. The stocks are a little lower, but it shouldn't be that much different. oh yea the 16's might scratch the wheel well if you lowered your car that much.

youre goin to have a problem with camber, so yes raise it up a bit

read that, and just because you increase rim size doesn't mean you willl increase the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo. when you get the 16inch wheel most people will go with a smaller tire so that they stay close to or right on the same size stock diameter.

only issue you could have is with the rim being to wide but i doubt you will be purchasing a 7.5 inch wide wheel

this along with what was said right below it are toatlly contradicting statments. camber does come from lowering you car, but if you want to go low and have the tire inside the wheel well then you need camber, if you didn't have it then your tire would hit your fender. i don't see a need to raise it up if you like it low you will be fine just go with a +42 off set wheel, and a 205/40/16 tire, and you shouldn't have a problem

i love camber,screws yer tires up but actually serves a purpose if you road race.
if you look at some of the pro cars they have camber like a mofo, but if you dont road race its pointless.it can be fixed with a kit but you cant really slam it with 16s unless you take the wells out. also if you plan to ride with alot of camber its a good idea to put a strut tie bar in.
theres my 2 cents

well imagine a civic on stock 13s slammed... thats gotta be on the ground! camber is bad especially when you have a 40 series tires because theres only so much sidewall to roll in turns. so raise it up a lil, roll your fenders, and put some meat on the ground.

just to give u guys the 411 on how low i am...its scary being behind a stock civic and my hood is like under there plates ...yes yes my buddy club is fracked up =[

 

[slambed_civic]

and you dont see any reason to raise it up?

 

[antivic]

lol hell yea i do...i don't like it that low rofl but the coil over thing won't budge rofll =]

 

[slammed_93_hatc]

BLAAAAAAAAAA you not low you have a f**kn huge ass front bumber, and minior camber (less than -3) doesn't not eat up your tires. ahahhaaha i still can't get over the fact that you think you slammed with that huge ass kit that body kit is most likely 2 or 3 inchs lower then your stock bumber.

aaaaa what ever im gone i refuse to help ice hot stunna ricers like you
