Default Wheels and lowering info please help?

Ok bought a low mileage 99 realtime AWD about 10 days ago. I've been looking nonstop for wheels on craigslist and researching lowering it.

I wanna put infinity g35 wheels on it my boy has cheap. They are 19x8 with 30 offset front and 19x8.5 33 offset rears. The fronts have 225-40-19 and the rears 245-40-19. There are only 17lbs. Anybody see any problems with this setup.

He also has mazada speed wheels 18x8 with a 55 offset. The tires are 225-40-18.


On lowering it going thru the threads alot of people use accord ebay coilovers but I guarantee those honda coilovers are all the same. With ebay coilovers will they be fine on stock struts if not slammed?

I only want a 2.5-3" drop.

245 is too wide. I use 10k/10k skunk2 accord coil overs on ITR shocks.

Even at stock height or with just a minor drop like h&r springs?

I don't want it dumped like my cars just close up alittle fender space if I go with a smaller tire.

It will fit with nautural camber in front and -1.5 to -2 on the rear . Oh and dont forget to roll your fenders f&r. I dont recommend running staggered on a rt4wd but many have done it for many years with no problems. But yea they will fit . Are you planing on running the g35 forged rays?

I want to I can get them cheap. Its a black crv and the forged rays have been powdercoated black. I did tint, HID's and window visors yesterday but the rest is bone stock.


With stock suspension can I bolt up the g35 Rays without messing with suspension,fenders or camber immediately? The rears are 245-40-19 and the fronts 225-40-19

they say 1.8in but mine dropped a little over 2.25in after it settled. its not "slammed" but looks WAY better than stock. you can cut 1-1.5 loops off each and get another inch drop without sacrificing drivablity.

I actually just put on 04 Acura TL wheels with 215-50-17 tires. Looks alot better but needs to be lowered atleast alittle.

Has anyone used ebay coilovers on oem crv struts and not dump it?

Anyone have a writeup on doing the home depot lip?
