How Wide are your Wheels?
So i'm thinking of running 17x9 +35MM offsett wheels.. on my 4dr integra.
I know i gotta do a few things to make them fit.
Slamm the **** out of my car, run lots of negative camber, and roll the hell out of my fenders.
Anyone else run something agressive like this?
Post up comments / suggestions etc.
Thanks!

no, 9's are too much rotational mass and uneeded traction, i doubt your gonna find too many people runnin 9's unless they have a staggered setup 9 up 7-8's in the back.
8's are perfect for the big and beefy look they look quite large on honda's, not to mention mad traction and still willl handle well
perfect for 300+whp
7.5 on my ek
9's up 10's back on my 240

Re: How Wide are your Wheels? (integlspwr2k)
FIRST decide what size tire you want. THEN find out how wide a wheel it will accept.
On most Integras, if you get 17" wheels, you want to get 205/40-17 tires. Because they have the same outer diameter as the stock tires, they shouldn't rub and they won't make your car accelerate slower like larger tires will.
Most 205/40-17 tires are approved only for use on rims that are 7.0-8.0 inches wide. I would suggest getting 17x7.5 because, at the high end of the range (17x8), the tires may look a bit "stretched", and at the low end (17x7) they may look "bulging".
205/40-17 on 17x7.5

thats what i was going for. the stretch tire look. The reason why i want 17x9 is because i wanna run the rim with a 3" lip all around.
I'm not sure if you ever seen a honda running RWD offset rims, it looks hella dope if done correctly.

slamming the car is not part of the solution to not rubbing, even though it looks better that way than sitting high up.
My buddy ran 245/35 tires on 19x9 wheels on his Audi A4 and they were CRAZY f'n huge. much much much too big for a Honda.

Good luck with that. Run a 7.5" wide wheel at the most.
