sold my rims to a friend and im lookign to get bigger ones

wonder wih the rota slipstreams in 16 x 8 fit on my crx

its a 91 lowered 1.75"/2"
neuspeed springs
tokico struts

 

get 15's

 

the largest 15 is 7.5

the 16 comes in an 8, i was wondering if an 8" wide wheel will fit without having to cut anything, or will i have to go 7.5's

if 8" wont fit then yes i will get the 15 x 7.5 but otherwise im looking at the 116 x 8

 

what looks better the 15 with the 6.5 or the 7.5
?

 

imo 15's look best

 

I'd have to agree. 15" x whatever will look better than a 16" and you will get better performance and handling.

 

Why do you need such wide wheels? Have you converted to RWD and not told us?

 

15 rota's are always pimp

lol i wish

just traction, and lots of it

 

Power in a straight line (i.e. I have 350ft/lbs) - Stickier tires, larger sidewalls
Power in Corners (i.e. road course) - thin sidewall

So which is that you want, beyond 225 you may have issues in Daily Driving, but if you want super tires I know Rota has a wheel that is 13x9, 13x10

 

thanks

mainly handeling..

15 by 7.5 then??

or 15 x 7

what do you think would be the best for DD but also trackable

 

15x7

 

!5's are the way to go. Here's some crappy pics of my car in the back of the shop running on Regamaster Evo's (same wheel exactly except color)

 

deetz ar those 15 x 7, 6.5, or 7.5

 

Can't recall, i think 15x6.5

 

hmmm

 

ohh what about 16 in the back and 15 in the front

lol no.. alrite i got a guy calling me a bit later about a quote on the rims, il make sure to get 15 by 7

There are 3 sizes to the rota slipstream wheel.
1. 15 x 6.5
2. 15 x 7
3. 16 x 7
(All in inches)

And I love my slipstreams on my civic. I say go for the 15 x 7 rota wheel along with Falken Azenis RT 215s.

 

mach69 there are 5 sizes

16x8
16x7
16x6.5
15x7
15x6.5

and for rubber im getting either falken grb fk-451 or azenis rt-215

 

well i have had no ill effects do to having a 16*7 inch wheel on my crx in fact i think it has helped in corning (but i don't have rubber band tires ether). as for the way 15vs16 look that is your opinion. as for tires i would suggest the toyo t1s or its replacement

 

id say go with 15s. or see sig for more info.

 

i got 17x7 on my rex and it sucks... but they look good
