The Hyper GT's were used on the Targa Tasmania and WTAC car I believe. The GT's in ET55 are pretty much the only mod I've considered for the car, the stock rims just don't grab me like I thought they would. I believe the ET55 has something to do with torque steer correction as well as the Civic runs ET60.@Shadow-Flo
Thanks for the feedback.
Apologies on the incorrect info re wheels being the same as the PC, and thanks for the correction.

So what happens the guys on here who have purchased the likes of aftermarket alloy wheels that are ET45 are they doing irreparable damage which has yet to manifest itself.
But they are also 0,5 inches narrower, which counteracts the lower ET....and the original N winter wheels (Magnit) already come with ET49,5
The Motecs in 19“ come with ET45 and ET50 in 18“, where dis you get the ET48 from?
Sorry my mistake apologies I will amend my post.The Motecs in 19“ come with ET45 and ET50 in 18“, where dis you get the ET48 from?
Would anyone know if 19 x 8.5 ET45 with a 245 tyre would work?
I've got my eye on some SSR GTX 01s Seems this sizing is the closest spec to oem they do.
I suspect it'll be too wide and rub, but can anyone confirm ?
Like what? Think you might be overthinking that a bit.
The only 'damage' from ET45 is that its changes the scrub radius to Positive (that site you linked presumes that OEM ET55 has Zero Scrub radius.......do we know that is right?).
Positive Scrub could have side effects on handling and braking but nobody has reported this who are using ET45 wheels. There are quite a lot of us too!
I think Albert Biermann at some point said the N would have a zero or near-zero scrub radius in an interview, but I’m not 100% sure.
Changing the scrub radius will change the driving behaviour (e.g. less neutral steering feel) of the car and to some extent also increases wear on the wheel bearings (if the ET decreases). That being said, if you actually feel any of these changes is a completely different story. What you however will notice, is the changes to the look of your car, so it’s up to you to decide what you want.
