Default Wheel Fitment, quick question. Please look.

Hi guys, tired of looking at my current wheels. I want to get these and need input of fitment:

CD5 Accord

Rota Grids (TE37 style)
4x114.3 PCD
17" x 8.5"
+30 Offset

Tires - 225/45/17 KU36 Kumho (To be small streched)

I die for its concave shape, new people's experience whether if these will fit straight in or will work need to be done such as rolling guards etc??



Same concaveness but not actual pcd shown on pic.

well im pretty sure you shouldnt have any problems at all as long as you stretch the tires....im running rota rb's, specs are 17x8.5 et20 with stretched 205/45 all around and i rarley rubbed my rear fenders and that was only because i was running a DIY camber kit in back and it was only on steep driveways...now i got coils and they were stiffer then my last set up and i went even lower and slammed my car and i ran into some problems in the front but i rasied it back up today and havent had any problems other then the fender liner getting in the way and my lip kit bottoming out but no problems with my fitment what so ever

Aggressive offset on nice wheels yo! Did you have to say roll the front guards and rear guards? By saying DIY camber kit is by putting washers so you get less camber right??

Pics of the beast please!

yes the diy kit means i have less negative in the back then natural camber would be

my first suspension combo was skunk2 springs with oem struts...it was about a 2.2 inch drop in front and 2 inch drop in back all around and i would sort rub due it it being soft but it wasnt enough to cause any problems or any worry

my new set up are F&F type 1 coils...when i first put them on i ran a 2 finger gap all around with virgin fenders and didnt rub once

then yesterday i lowered to a little less then a finger gap in back and tucking in front, i rolled the rear fenders about 75 degrees in back and left the fronts virgin, had no issues in the rear but ran into major issues in the front

today i raised the front to the same amount of gap as the back and havent had any problems except scraping my lip kit and i can still turn my wheel full clicks from left to right with out any problems (knock on wood) and keep in mind the front fenders are still virgins

here are some pics are in this thread towards the middle of the page- http://hondasociety.com/board/showth...49#post1960449

Wow holy crap, nice fitment! The rears are rubbing since you have, less camber and low offset right? I can imagine now that 17x8.5 ET30 would be an easy fit then...it's just that online calculator thingo shows it will stick out of the fenders by something like 1.25"

nope no rubbing at all anywhere (knock on wood) other then the fender liner on big bumps, but that would happen with anysize wheel ...keep in mind when lowering a car it has natural camber and those numbers are more likely to be for a car at stock heigth with oem camber

check the picure at the bottom of page 1 to see how they fit when i had less positive camber due to not being as low...i wana say i had a good 5-10mm of poke before i went lower
