about the tyres
someone with experience will be able to guide you better. Haven't experienced either of these so em not the best person to ask.
Regarding the rims, go for any branded rim. Just stay away from chinese/taiwan. I know most people say that those work well too, they are right. Just that I wouldn't advise you or anyone to go for them. But then, its just my opinion. there are usually quality issues related with them too. So install any good branded rim design you like.
about the shops/retailers, again other members would guide you better as I don't have info on that.

accord OEM 17 inch alloys would be perfect. They are originals so won't have any issues plus they look really good with the civic.
The only problem is their availability. the ones selling them ask insane money for it. If you can find a good deal on them, go for it.

Bros, I installed body kit to my Civic and it enhances its look alot. But now tires look little smaller than car body so i am planning upgrade tire and to put new low profile 215/50 R17 with 17x7J Rims ( also to me 9th Gen OEM Rims looks Cheap Chinese, no offence-:0 )... I am thinking to go for Yoko S-Drive. Can anybody there guide me. Will they be looking good? Any opinion & suggestion.
Also side wall difference is around -15% with new tire, so how much would it affect ride comfort.?
Appreciate your sincere help.

@AsFand26,

Thank you for your usual very quick support;

I am not looking for fuel economy if it is affected even. But looking for good desgin rims in silver colour. You are right, OEM are very good quality but design itself is not charming to me. If i measure the weight of OEM rim and then compare weight of after market new rim, will it work? how much can be difference allowable/bearable? Below picture there are good rims, or accord OEM rims. what you think. But i doubt if i can find similar design rim in Lenso product range? Do you know some place to buy similar?

Check these out. They are bound to look much better with a light coloured 9th gen.

These are 19's, I was after this car but it got sold So now I'm waiting for the delivery of a brand new one
and I have future plans for these rims but after keeping the car stock for some time.

@asfand26,

Appreciate your help.

What should be offset to best suit 9th Gen Civic if Tire is 215/50 R17 and 17x7J Wheel? Offset should be 35mm, 38mm or 40mm?

@afnansjfayaz

Bro if above picture is 19s then with 17 there will be a lot of area for side wall and will not give a good look of Low Profile... right?
Unless one uses 18s or 19s.
These grey rims are 19s?

Bro my personal opinion is 17s will look good with a drop too. Check out @fireblade's 9th gen he has 17s i think he has dropped it too if I remember correctly. The first pic is of a 9th gen with accord euro r rims and they are 17's. I think the sidewall will be negligeble if you have 17's and a bit of a drop.

For drop we need lowering spring always or it can be done by removing some shims/washers from suspension?

Lowering springs. Coilovers for street use is the preferred choice...there are no removable shims/washers in stock suspension to adjust height

Hello friends,
I have a problem in my car which is bothering me. My car have 9500km on odo and just got the 10,000km service done. My car have had been to 3s dealer (Honda city sales - Lahore) three times and on all visits the battery fluid was relatively low. According to their technicians it is normal. I would like to ask other 9th gen owners if they have faced similar problem.
Thank you

[AsFand26]

I wouldn't worry too much regarding the battery water. My civic doesn't have this issue though it does reduce water in battery a little bit once in a while. although my previous car, swift, had this issue. it used to reduce water like crazy in battery. But I used it for 2.5 years and kept filling the water and it was fine till the day I sold.

@asfand26
Thank you for instant reply

[irfansiddique]

@129
Battries does reduce water. i normally check once a month, and its reduce little bit so i top-up - - but its a task to top-up battery water in 9gen. i have kept an injection to fill water in the cells and use AC water for refill.

[129]

@irfansiddique
I ll follow your advice, how so ever my car does not reduce water like crazy. But i ll agree that 9th gen does consume quite a lot batt. fluid as compared to others

[ali.archilounge]

This is a friend's car. 9th gen is capable of this.

Isn't there supposed to be a gap between 2 and 1? According to the three module (000) digital meter it must show "2 19" instead of "219"
