I thinkin about MAYBE runnin 17x8+30 wheels on my DB8 and wanted to know if that is too aggressive. I wanted to see what you guys think. Im goin for a stance look but not cambered the hell out or slammed to the ground either just the right amount of camber and low to where it will look nice. idk if any of that makes any sense lol.

drop down to 16''... 17 is too big that belongs on accords n preludes, stance look 16x8 is great in a 20 or lower offset. Then to add the tires nothing bigger then a 185/45 I just ordered some ESM 007's in 15x8 +15 and am going to look for some 175/50's to stretch over them.

17x8 too big on a Db? 16's are the smallest I'd go but 17's are a great size for a Db. A 17x8 +30 would not need that much camber at all and would not require a tire stretch to fit, you will have to roll your fenders but nothing too much after that. I ran a 16x8 +20 with a 205/40/16 with minimal camber and rolled fenders.

im just wondering cuz there is a set of wheel that cought my eye but they only come in that size

You would be happy with a 17x8 on a Db. The larger body matches well with a 17"

Post up the wheels you're looking at

17's on a DC2 look silly idk about a db8 I like 15's cause they're not too heavy and the smaller rim allows you to be lower to the ground. I get op doesn't want to have a real stanced car but this is what I'm going for with mine(yes I have a jdm front) only diff mine will have Avid AV-12 in gold/chrome lip and more camber.

JsSIR

I think there are many forms of stanced. I want my car to be low just not sitting on the ground low and have crazy camber.

here a pic of the rims. I just them in 16x9 +15 would that be better?

I'm not sure if any of you know how widths and offsets work.

17x8 +30 is an EASY fitment on a DB8?!?!?! Surely you jest. Figure about -4 degrees of camber, rolled fenders, possible repaint, and scraping anyway. Thats if you actually want the wheels and tires to fit under the fenders and not stick way out.

A lower number is a more agressive offset. So a 16x9 +15 is even more difficult to fit.

JsSIR

that why im here askin people that know more that me lol. what do you mean by possible repaint and scraping?

B_Swapped93

these are my old DRW's 16x10 +25...maxed camber with 205/45's stretched over them. a 16x9 +15 would be hard to fit



see how the rear wheel arch is notched..that's from the wheel lip hitting it

16x9 + 15 is going to be about .25" less agressive than your 16x10 +25 since you gain .39" of outside spacing because of offset....but you lose 1/2" on each side for width. So....about .25" or about 6mm less agressive than your fitment.

Anyway.....OP....do some reading about offsets and widths. Once you know how it works, you'll never have to ask the internet "will this fit" ever again. You can be a pioneer.

If you roll your fenders as much as you'll need to for those wheels to fit....you usually need paint work because it cracks. If you drive in an environment with salt on the road....I would recommend NOT rolling fenders.

Tons of people have done 15x8 +30 track wheels. Look at the pics of their fenders. The lips are rolled flat. Their camber settings are probably -3 or more....which isn't bad. But it's not a standard fitment or "easy" for someone asking "will this fit".

Scraping is the sound things make when they make contact.

JsSIR

I feel want your saying and appreciate your input. i know a lot of civic/integra owners dont go higher than 16" rims. Other than actually test fitting the wheels on my car i figure this would be a good way to start to gather info

JsSIR

i found a old pic of a db with 17x8 wheels. the owner stated +26 front +30 in rear but wasnt 100% sure. this is the look Im goin for but i would go a lil lower
