Just wondering for those of you running the 235/60-15s on EG's if you had any rubbing on the fender or front bumper?

I test fit them on my car the other day and it seems very close to the fender (Cant even get a finger in between the tire and fender) -- but I'm going to try raising the car as high as it can go first.

I remember hearing you have to cut the front bumper a little but that might've been on an EK...

thanks

 

you have clearence. We played it safe and cut our fenders... and now we are able to lower the car alot! But as for stock fenders, DC, EG, EK you have room! possibly a small spacer to move the tire from the spindle. But you deff have room. We fit our 26" Hoosiers under the fender with no spacer, no problem.

 

thanks for the info

 

did you just cut the inner lips and tabs for the splash gaurd? curious my self since i will be running these tires as well.

 

This is how close it is, i'll raise the car up tomorrow and see how much more room I get

 

Damn, that looks really close to the fender. I would like to see what others are doing as well. I bought these tires also but was planning on using them with a callos racing front end. Unfortunatley, I can't get in touch with him...

 

all i can say is WOW!

 

in for the raised update pics

 

I would not run it that close. At speed, the tire will expand and once you let off the wheel will lock up in the fender causing a spin at the end of the track if your not careful.

 

Raised the hell out of my car to fit them .. Car stays that height anyways to fit slicks and keep alignment straight.



Here they are on my friend's car ..

 

Was buying these also, but I dont think I can raise my car high enough, I have 185/65/14 steelies on there now and at full height I can only get 3 fingers in the gap.

 

i had to raise my car and shave my bumper a lil so i can make turns

 

Raise it up please.

M&H

 

Those pic's...that is too close! Deff raise that up. When i said you guys have room, i meant with the car raised.

I'll find some pics and of my car with out new M&H's Thanks John

 

yeah that way too close for comfort.. raise that biaotch

 

I had my ground control coilovers all the way up and it was driveable on my EG... would only rub when the wheel was turned all the way, def a bitch to turn without power steering though lol.

 

^^^^ wow how high is that? It looks like you could go muddin in your civic

 

im looking to do the same thing with my car, cant get any traction on the street.

its a 26" tire homie lol

 

my old car back in late late 2005

 

What do these tires measure out to really, i thought it was like 25.4 inch not a full 26 at least im remembering that from somewhere. I run 25 inch slicks on my car and have the fenders cut pretty good to get them to fit with it being lowered but was thinking of running these on the streets.

Also good to see the snky snky todamobile coming to life.

 

what kind of mileage do you guys get out of these tires with street use?

 

 

^^^^ looks good, I am just about to buy my wheels for these tires...... I am disputing to myself about running a 16" rim in the rear with a +1 height rear tire to not make the front wheel setup dwarf the rear, does anybody think that will look better or stupid.

I know this is not an appearance thread, but I am not feeling the jacked up look while the back looks like a go-cart tire.

 

I just ordered that same setup for my car, I'll take some pics when I get it back.
