Carving/Work Stark ii 16x8 +45 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 16-inch in diameter and 8 inches wide with a +45 offset up front, and 16-inch by 7 inches at +45 in the rear.

A +45 offset on a 8-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a conservative, factory-like position. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +45 offset on the 7-inch wheel keeps the rear in line with the front.

Carving/Work Stark ii 16x8 +45 on a Honda Civic is a common Civic question, and this page shows exactly how it sits, how it clears, and what the owner changed to make it work.

225/45R16 tires on 16x8 wheels

The tire size is 225/45R16: a 225 mm section width with a 45 aspect ratio on the 16-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).

The owner chose Toyo Proxes R888R. See every 225/45R16 tire we carry for this size.

Searching for 225/45R16 tires on a Honda Civic, or the right tire size for 16x8 +45 wheels? This is one owner's proven combination, and every wheel and tire package we sell ships mounted, balanced and ready to bolt on.

Suspension, stance and clearance

The car is lowered on Ksport coilovers, which lets the owner dial in ride height and camber to clear 16x8 +45 and get the flush look.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, 5mm spacers, rolled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Honda Civic comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
