I'm thinking putting 16" on front and 17" on rear any opinions on this?

If yes what tire size for 16" and 17"? i was thinking 45 for the 17"

 

Rims =


Wheels =


LOL

i think mismatching wheel sizes is a bad idea.

 

My opinion would be: Don't do it.

 

oh.. alright won't do it. but what's bad about it?

 

if you had a muscle car yes. but with a honda i'd stick with the same wheel size all around.

 

obviously yall know more than me. what's the facts about it. I thought it would be cool that it looks like it's more slanted. I saw a drag rsx on with small front bigger back. a blue one. can you guys explain to me?

 

nothing really

for 16 i'd go 205/50/16
for 17 i'd go 205/50/17

it'll just look weird, check the older nsx, they come with 16s up front and 17s in the rear stock.

go for it - up to you, all 4 wheels match, only difference is the size. shouldn't be anything different with the ride height as both tire sizes i said have the same diameter.

 

The only way I'd have 2 different rim heights, would be if I was using the car for drag racing. I'd maybe run 15" with slicks up front and 16" with some light tires in the rear. Any other rim size setups would look ridiculous, and not draw the right appearance. Even with the setup I mentioned, I'd only do that if I had a drivetrain worth putting slicks on. As it stands, a stock D17 won't need anything more than some Performance Summer tires.

The "raked" look you saw works best on muscle cars, given the fact that they have the power to back the stance. The stance serves a purpose, it's not just for "show".

 

nice info. yeah i'm up with you guys. it's just i'm trying to rid my car of these 18's.

why not go 50 front and 45 rear? would keep the car balanced at lvl height?

 

It's called a staggered setup. Used by a few people in autocross, most notable Jason Frank in a 1989 Civic Si STS (15" front, 16" back) and Andy Hollis also uses it in his STS2 Miata.

sorry, i was multi-tasking when i wrote that, yep 50 front, 45 rear is what i meant.

btw, i think your hood is broken

 

I would without a doubt put a staggered wheel on my car.

I would try like a 16x7 +35 front and a 17x7.5 + 35 rear with those FN01C's...

and yes 215/50/16 and 215/45/17's are my tire choices. ( back might rub:O)

lol nice hatin. i like them my personal taste. since my car is a 4dr it helps to keep it looking longer than it does fatter. The wing helps to the longer look.

That makes sense. Yes I raised my hood. At first it looked like a lot but I seem to like it. 3/4" hood raise.

It would be interesting to do it. I like trying new things but nothing to outrageous to go rice. I guess we all have a different definition of rice. Anyways my tires are 215 with the fender walls rolled up and my camber and toe is zero. no rubbing so if you want to run 7.5 with 215 go ahead. I like fat tires. Also with people in your backseat like 3 people and your front passenger there is still no rubbing even if your back bounces.

Anyways my final decision is to shop around and look for either 17"s to run 45 pro's or 16"s to run 50 pro's. I was a lost puppy when I first got this car. But i like jdm. BWT i bought those window visors off of passwordjdm.
