Traction has been a major issue with my car right around 400-425hp (just street tune) best time was 12.2 123 2.19 60ft. I have been reading all these posts on how good these tires are but noone is saying how they are fitting them under their car i got 225/50R15 bfg's right now and it is close as hell right now so fitting the M&H's seems a little far fetched. My suspension is JIC fla1's and they are set as high as they will go now so anyone with some advise on how to fit these under would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise it would be great that M&H might make a smaller tire that wouldnt be as diifcult to fit

 

I have skunk2 coilover all the way to the top on my 93 CX, and i had to shave my front bumper a little bit so it would clear when i make turns, but thats just a little sacrafice to get traction. i can post pics if you want, let me know.

 

Please do any maybe if you could take a tape measure and go from the center of your wheel to the fender just to give me an idea of the radius you have...

Thanks for your help I greatly appreciate it havent had much help from anyone on this subject other than roll your fenders or hammer stuff....

I want a clean looking car thats fast that has always been the way i want things and those suggestions dont work for me.....

 

bump

 

i saw those size tires at a local shop today but they were the M/T drag radials....they were HUGE. i'll be amazed if you can daily drive on those on a civic.

 

i have stock springs and shocks on my car. (dont do it, you will **** up your tires, my passenger side fender, was diggin a bit into the tire, on HUGE bumps) i would suggest a set of skunk coilovers, with a good set of adjustable shocks.




anyone want to buy them? the tread is still good as ****.

 

there is a big difference in size between the M/T and M&H tires. I have owned both.

 

It's 27" from the floor to the bottom of the fender

Thanks a lot for the pics man i greatly appreciate it now i got an idea where i need my car to be (height wise). Been trying forever to get this kinda info thanks again for the response.

Dturbocivic how much you want for the set?

 

 

After looking a little closer it appears that you dont have a drive train in your car or do you?

If that is the case your car will sit higher than usual of course.....

I think the only thing to do is order the tires and just go through the process of fitting them up i got coilovers (JIC) so it shouldnt be that hard just dont know if i can get them to go as high as a skunk since the JIC's are a "true" fully adjustable coilover.......

Actually, I have everything in my engine bay except axels, Zig knows wassup, he sees my car a lot.

 

Dam cant wait to go measure mine to see where i am at as far as height....

Thanks again man for all your help and the pics

 

brian(vtec-dood) i just ran over and measured mine. im 23.5" tall from the ground to the bottom of the fender(same measurement point as in mighty mintos picture).

 

Could I bother you one more time for another dimension? Could you tell me what it is from the center of the hub to the fender? I think this would be a better way to see how they will fit....

Thanks

 

its about 14 inches

 

thanks a lot for all your help will post pics once they are on the car i sure it wont be a problem fitting them under the car

 

Well car is at 13.25" im sure i wont have any problem fitting them thanks again mighty mintos for the measurements and your time....

 

anyone ever put a set of these on a 99-00si?

yes...... my car has the stock springs and shocks on it, coilovers with a decent adjustable shock(koni yellow or tokico 5 ways)would be your best bet.....

this is what happens when you run huge tires and **** suspension.





ADD .orig.jpg to the "link" of the image, to see the original, and see how deep the fender cut into the tire..

 

i think i got some bullshit coil overs i need to get new ones anyway but i will see if i can jack them up all high and get them to fit.


my 225's barely fit right now.

i bet these hook like a ****.

 

great stuff, in the process of tryin myself
