when the suspension moves does all of this move making it always that far apart or does the part that the inner wheel is close to gunna rub/hit when the suspension moves

 

I'm sure it will once you start hitting the rough roads. what is your offset

 

On rough roads, I'm sure. Like the previous poster asked, what's your offset? It looks like your tire size is 215/55/16? Have you considered some spacers? 8-10mm perhaps?

they are the older s2k wheels (the rears) and yes they are 215/55/16. i dont know what spacers are can u explain what they are and what they do/how much they cost?

 

Imagine if you took a template of the outer part of the brake rotor (Part that meets the wheel), and cut a 10mm thick piece of metal out to match that shape, and put it between the wheel, and the brake rotor.

That's what a wheel spacer is. That will essentially space the wheel further away from the control arm, so you won't rub.

They're not hard to find, just search on Ebay and Honda-Tech For Sale section.

 

or try raising the car a bit - looks like it's dumped

 

they are the 16" s2k wheels the ones that came on the earlier s2k's. dont know the offset but i belive they are 7.5" wide. the tires are 215/55/16. can i run one of those universal cheap 3mm spacers on ebay?



if i raise it a lil will it increase the distance between them?

 

I'd go a bit larger than 3mm... Perhaps raise the ride heigh .5", and space the wheels 5mm. That should do it.

i dont know about 5mm, im gunna raise it up a tiny bit.

i know 3mm isnt that much but is it enough to notice on a diff on the look? like will it make it look further out?

 

i would stay away from spacers, IMO. consider running a small sidewall like 215/50 or 215/45

 

True, I had those ebay spacers and they rust and corrode like crazy.

 

so im guessing a 215/45 would be the same thing?

what do you mean the same thing?

like it would be shorter but isnt the problem mainly with the width?

 

first of all, s2k rear wheels do not fit the prelude correctly. the only way to use them is to use wheel spacers which is bad. get 4 front wheels.

i am using 4 front s2k wheels on my lude right now so i know what i am talking about. btw, why are you using a staggered setup on a fwd prelude anyways? that staggered setup just made you understeer even more.

 

^ Same question I asked.

Spacers aren't neccesarily bad... In order to run Spoon calipers on a Type-R with JDM 16" Type-R wheels, you have to run spacers. As long as you're not running out of useful stud, it's not a problem.

 

Eibach and H&R both make good quality spacers.

 

4 fronts would be the easiest way to go. going with a smaller sidewall like 45 would make it 1.9% faster than the speedometer reads and 50 would be 1.6% too slow.

how bad is staggered wheels on fwd?

I was thinking about putting staggered wheels on my 92 lude

 

would it not be dependent on the difference in size? like 205/225's compared to 205/245's?

 

wont rub, till you turn

 

which defeats the purpose

^^^^^ 2nd that.

 

Proper size tires would probably help (such as 215/45 as mentioned)
