Rims & Rubber
Advan TCII 17 x 8.5-inch (F), 17x7.5-in. (R)); Advan A048 245/40R-17 (F), 215/45R-17 (R)

Does anyone know the offset on the front and rear?

I want to run a 245/40/R17 in the front but I don't know what offset to use.

 

What car?

 

I have 2005 civic coupe but its almost identical to the RSX.

I also have the 5 lug swap from RSX type S. I just need to know what offset I can use to fit a 245/40/R17 or 245/45/R17

 

Hmm... I'm pretty sure any offset from +32 to +45 should work fine. Safest would most likely be +40.

 

Have you taken any measurements? You can use offset calculators to compare your current set up and what you want to run.

 

I haven't taken measurements. but I have looked at tirerack.com to look at tire size measurements and I did look at a tire calculator to see if it would fit. The only problem is I am worried about the offset. I am currently running 17X7.5 +45 offset

 

With what tires? Does it look like you have room? What tires do you plan on running. Some tires actually fit wider than their specs. What exactly do you plan on doing and for what purpose? How much camber and how low are you?

 

My guess would be ricing around Cali trying to pick up chicks at the movie theatre. He probably has his DropZone/Skank2 coilovers set to the lowest settings.

 

Bridgestone RE 050 8.8" tread width 245/45/R17
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport 9" tread width 245/45/R17
Fuzion ZRi 8.6" tread width 245/45/R17



current set up 225/45/R17 +45 offset
1.5 drop all around on MeganRacing Coilovers
No Camber

The reasons I am going with these tires I have hook up on Bridgestone.

The purpose of this set up is for the track NASA HPED and DD.

I want to run wider in the front to stop the understeer.

 

Never fails ^

I was feeling all serious and technical after this thread, then I just read about a nasty 2.6L K24a1 build in the allmotor section that got me feelin' even more into it lol... then I come back here and I get a post like that hahahaha! Shoots me right back down to Earth.

 

Are you opposed to rolling your fenders? I would just say go for it and if anything you might need a slight roll. Are you on coilovers? Just raise it a little bit or camber it up like -1.5 or so in the front.

 

TREAD, not thread... sorry but that bugs the **** out of me

 

I already rolled the rear fenders, but I want to stay away from rolling the front fender because I do not want to loose the fender wall guard. I am on MeganRacing Coilovers.

 

I see. Just go for it... should be fine. Maybe someone else can chime in with an actual experience.

 

If you want to reduce under steer and fit wider tires just run as much negative camber as possible up front. Chances are you'll max out at -3* without modifying your stock shock towers. Pick up 2 sets of camber bolts for the struts, run them all full negative adjustment and then fine tune with your top hats.
