I wish i could go lower. I might push like 3" but like i said I live right in the middle of a big community and unfortunately the bumps are the size of mount Everest. I dont know what I was think saying -4/-6, I meant like -3/-4. Why do you think 16x7 +40/45 would look better?
And thank you for your reply!

Agressive wheels look better with agressive lowering. Unfortunately, 2.5" is about the absolute limit of off the shelf Koni yellows.

Less agressive wheels are more streetable since you don't need as much camber and because you have less risk of fender to tire contact. They also look better with more moderate lowering.

Take a look at pictures online to get an idea. Looks are subjective. Is there snow where you live? With 16 x 8 +38, you'll probably need/want to roll the rear fender lips and cut off the front fender tabs/slice the liner back. Which is such an awful idea if you plan to drive the car thru road salt.


16x7 +40/45 looks pretty nice. It'll probably go with the theme of the car....a moderately lowered street car. The look of the fitment at your proposed height and useage will be better than 16x8 +38, IMO. Plus you don't need excessive camber or fender mods. It will look aggressive without looking goofy.

No, I'm in Miami, Florida. Thank you so much for all your help, it will be a little while before I decide on what exactly I want to do. I will keep doing my own research on everything. Thank you, you have been a lot of help and opened me up to a new option. I really appreciate it.

I hav a EP3 TYPE R I want to put some 16×8 rota grid rims on it..but am not sure off the offset I don't want my rims to be sticking way out my fenders. And I don't want my tires rubbing...what's the perfect offset?

readyjetsgo

Hey, quick question if you have the time.
I was looking at some wheels and they only come in a 16x8 +20, what type of camber am I looking at to make them fit with no rubbing? They also come in 15x8 +20, how much more clearance would that give me over the 16s?

Jedwardo

hi everyone, first post here ive searched numerous forums but cant find a definitive answer.

will 15x8 et32 wheels and 195/50/15 tyres fit on my eg6 without arch work and or ecessive camber ?

also would my car handle better better with 15x7 et40 wheels using the same tyres ?

thanks

For a mild to moderate stretch (nothing excessive as I will not be running much camber, but I do plan on going somewhat low), how well will 205/40/16 do on a 16x8 wheel? Offset is +25 on an EJ hatch. I've read a lot of posts, but any input and/or pictures would be helpful.

00 sedan with 15x8 +20 offset. I want to drop it a little, nothing crazy, not trying to tuck tire, but I also don't want to camber the wheels. Do I need flares? Or will my fenders/quarters roll and stretch far enough to clear the tires? I'm hoping to run a 215/45r15, but I can't find any, so the next best thing is 225/45r15 or 205/50r15. Help please!

Hi i have a EG with tein basic coilovers right now and front camber kit hardrace kit. I also have the rear camber kit its a skunk 2 kit. My cars on with hx rims right now. Im planning on wheel selection and I
want to go 15x8 et 10. that would put me like 2 or 3 inch lip am i correct?

I want to get that close to flush look with these rims. what do major things i need to do to get it done. right now my tein basic don't seem to go lower and it still have like a finger gap even in the backs. i might buy another coiler kit to go lower.


if i put 15x8 10 am i be able to clear my brakes fronts rotors/etc and rear drums? will i need like spacers. and how much will it stick out.
i want to know before i go ahead and buy the rims.

will i be able to clear anything if possible running these rims?
please let me know i need help im new to this hella flush thing.
i just want it to look better than what it is now.
what are some pros/cons with this thing.
is my camber kits up front/rear good to go?
need some tips.....

No clue. You never mentioned what the wheels were, and how the faces are designed. Without knowing that, the best guess I can think of is "table" (about as relevant to the question as the question is detailed).


If you don't need to run spacers, you're STILL going to need to roll and pull the fenders and quarter panels a bit to clear tires properly. Or run an unsafe amount of negative camber.


Pro: It's going to be a look you're trying to achieve.
Cons: It'll be unsafe to drive on, look like its out of place, and possibly cause short tire life.

I have a 99 dx sedan and I wanted to run xxr 531 16x9s , I still have a lot to learn so could somebody help me out with some wheel specs and things I'm gonna need to do for them to fit correctly

EG-SIXV-TEC

the rims im thinking on getting are the rota zero plus 15x8 10 rims.
on my eg hatchback. do i have to use spacers with this setup? i already have camber kit front and back. will i endup hitting any inside well or brakes i have stock front and rear disc brakes. can the et 10 be okay? how much will it stick out of the fender? how would it be if i roll and do fender work is it hard? will my tein basic coilovers be okay if i want to get it slightly flush etc? also worried if it will rub anything inside.

How's it going, i was going to get 15x8 +25 offset diamond racing steelies for my e.g. coupe. Then i saw a car here on honda tech with 15x7 -19.. Just wondering what you would think was a better setup? The rear will have plenty of camber and minor camber in the front.. What do you guys think?

Ej1_Ryan

And as for tire sizes i was going to go with a 165/45R15 for the 15x7s... but there aren't to many brands who make them. As for the 15x8's i was going to go with a 195/45/R15 setup.. Those sizes sound about right?

Hello. Will i fit wheels model JapanRacing JR12 16x9 ET10 on my civic EK sedan? I plan to buy them but im afraid that will not fit because they are too wide.

Here is link of wheels: Japan Racing Wheels - Best Models of Lighweight wheels always in stock. - Japan Racing JR12 16x9 ET10 4x100/114 Gloss Black

And here is picture of my sedan : https://33.media.tumblr.com/a710c9e5...dvfo1_1280.jpg

Depends on your opinion of "fit" then. All of the cars in that Google search have some combination of destroyed fenders and/or wheels that are clearly not contained within those fenders.

Hey guys I just got some 16s for my ek coupe and want to know if the tires that my roommate gave me for these rims that are 205/45/16 am I going to have and issues with clearance or anything like that ?

spAdam

iTrader: (1)

Depends on the width and offset of the wheels. 205/45 should fit correctly in most cases.

lilfed857

The rims are by with a off set of 49 but my car is on adjustable coil overs so I can raise it if needed

Ratchetgang

I have a 95 civic cx hatch and I plan on gettin new wheels I currently have cx racing coils, if I'm all the way down I want to not be able to rub and I want to actually be able to turn without ruining anything, so I'm getting 15x8 wheels with +25 offset my friend keeps pushing stretching but what tire size can I fit in there where I can turn properly and maybe have a tiny stretch? I was thinking 175/50 or 185/45?
