Boosted_01 R

Hey guys I have a 2001 Integra Type R, was wondering if this wheel spec will work. Tire is a 24.5/8.0/15 M/T

Rim Diameter (in): 15 in. Rim Width (in): 8.00 in. Backspacing (in): 4.500 in. Offset (mm): 0.00mm

OR

Rim Diameter (in): 15 in. Rim Width (in): 7.00 in. Backspacing (in): 4.000 in. Offset (mm): 0.00mm
Thanks

You'll want the rim at least as wide as the slick.

I think you'll be ok with the 4.5" backspacing. Someone else may know for sure.

Each slick has its specifications on what rim width is recommended to use.

Either of those wheels will actually work. The 15x8 may be a better rim to use though.

I knew someone with knowledge would check in soon.

I believe that's Will, you can trust what he say's.

I used a 15x8 when I had my type R.

THATS LOOKS SOOOO SICK, with the slicks. I was running stock ITR wheels with my slicks, they work fine, but want something wider.

Whats the backspacing and offset on your 15x8, if you remember ?

BTW any more pics of the R?

Thanks for the input guys

The common backspacing for most Honda setups are between 4 and 5" Either should be fine, it just depends on how far you want the tire to stick out of the fender. You also have to consider the tire size you're planning to use. Of course the wider the tire(such as 9-10" wide) the more you want it away from the inside of the fender so it clears the supension parts.

On my ITR I have Bogarts 15x8 with 4.5 inch backspace.

Never had a rubbing issue either

Boosted_01 R

Was your offset 0? Would you say you had a pretty good turning radius? I see some guys making 3 point turns at the end of the track to come back on the return line, lol

and for the hell of it, here's my R



This should be the official "Type R's on Slicks" Tread, lol

any more pics of 5 lug on slicks

I don't know what the offset was. I have a good turning radius but I am on small 22 inch slicks. Mine does not rub anywhere.

Here are some pics to give you an idea of how much the wheel sticks out of the fender.

bogarts looking nice on there, 15x8's are good

I ran 15x7 rota's for a year and had no issues. The next year I ran 15x8 Rota's with no issues.

you have PM

dpetro1

what offset on the 15x8"

E85B18

Damn! Are these 26" tires?

BoostR41

I cant remember it was a group buy the ITR guys did.


these were 26" drag radials on my car just to throw it out there:

E85B18

Sweet!! Thanks for the pic. What size 26's? How well did it drive on the street?

turbotypeR@SPEC

Mine were 4.5" backspacing and yes, I was running 26x8 Goodyears. It is pretty funny how the "new" thing is running 26" tires. I was running them in 03.LOL
And yes, I have more pics:

Danny what happen to your ITR? Looks clean!!!

BoostR41

I always ran 235/60/15 BFG's or M&H bias plys on the street. it didnt drive real bad but it didnt corner at all with the M&H.

On a side note I remember Danny's ITR from back in the day. It ran good from what I remember
