So i searched about 8 pages of any topic involving neuspeed race springs. Ive always wanted some 16x7 rims for my EK. Well looking at the drop im thinking ill probably end up going with 15x7. I was wondering what offset i have to limit myself to in your guys obviously more experienced oppinions. Could i still go with 16x7 without having to alter the camber as i really dont want to change it. What tire size is sufficient with each set up. etc. Thank in advance and please i did search but nothing came up as specific. Thanks- also do you know the exact drop these spring will produce with stock struts. thanks

 

The best tire size for a '97-00 Civic is 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 for 15" wheels, 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 for 16" wheels.

I'm moving this topic to the suspension forum because the rest of your question really deals with suspension issues.

 

thank you....for the move i was iffy about which forum to plop my question also.....in for some help thanks in advance.

 

com guys im in the process of wheel shopping and i need to know if 16x7 is going to need camber ajustment to fit correct with these springs and ill have to go with 15x7 instead or will they work. thanks in advance.

 

16x7" wheels are no problem. Just make sure that the offset of the wheels you're getting fall around +40mm to +42mm.

Plus the Neuspeed "Race" springs don't drop as low as you think.

Once settled, you'll probably still have about a one finger gap between the tire and the fender (at least that's what I got when I ran this setup with 205/40/16 tires).

Just make sure that you get an alignment when the new suspesion is put in and you should be good to go.

 

thanks man, yeah i think ill be going with some 16x7's thanks alot......do you have any pictures of your ride with that setup? also the rims i was looking at were a 38mm offset....no good?

your fine dont worry...just go with 205-45-16 tires and your set

 

great thanks.....think i changed my mind see if i can snag a set of the Rota J-specials in absolute green........black car, green rims.....boo-yah....im so going to get ragged on that note lol.

 

Neuspeed race springs are very low in front - so camber will be a bit of an issue. Just fair warning.

p.s. love the username. jagerbombz

 

lol thanks, so im getting different responses, hummmm i guess im still going to go with 16x7s with the recommended tire and see what happens.....and thanks yeah love the skit.


HGH!!!!!!!!!!!
