I in the process of building my 95 Civic Coupe for the Hot Rod Class and I mounted and put my Wheels and Tires on and I had to notch the bottom of the fender wells so I could turn the wheels... anyone else with this problem and how did you fix it..? thanks...

 

i have run 26x8.5x15 and never had a problem

but then again i have an integra so the wheel wells and a bit bigger

 

What I'm talking about the lower rocker panel area where the mud flap would go and I also have a one piece front end..

 

post a pic so everyone knows what you are talking about

 

thanks, I just cut them and put some small plate there.. it looks good, I was just wondering who else has done this...

 

we cut about 2inch's at least, into the rocker. the side skirts are alot shorter now

 

did you weld plates or just left them open..?

 

we made wheel tubs, we cut into the firewall/ a pillar, up and around, then filled it back in with sheetmetal.

 

also looking for pics

 

had to cut ours for the 24.5's and a little more for the 26's, We used a custom bogart with the 26's so the wheel didn't stick out as far as our Welds with the 24.5's

 

yes, I had the same issue..

 

this is an hatchback sideskirt on here

 

The CLM guys and I run 26x8.5x15 on a 15x7 run all the times. I run it on my 96 civic without any problem. You just have to raise the car so it clears.

here's a pic



The 26x10x15 fits but will rub once you turn the wheels.

haha, it looks like you guys lost a chunk of the bumper like I did also

 

I think thats a reflection of the cone..

Hey, I also noticed you have a LS web wheel on there. Which is 15x6. not 15x7. What kinda 60 foots are you hitting with them?

 

The bumper is missing a piece but it's not from the 26s, I put the bumper back in in rush using zipties and it got caught while street driving . The best 60ft I got with them was a 1.61 and average mid-1.6.

Most people are running a drag racing rim which will stick out more and rub when turning unlike the stock offset LS wheel you posted.

 

WOW and my M&H 8.5/26-13 would work the best. The most tracktion on the track and the best 60ty's.
