Okay so the chasis im using is a 89 Civic IT HAS ARP EXTENDED WHEEL STUDS, I have 13x7.5x13 with MT 24.5x9x13 with that being said I need to know what MM wheel spacer ill need to clear the inside. From my calculations a 10mm should be good but can I get away with less? I dont care if it is a ***** hair away as long as there is no rubbing lol. since i tried them on my CRX will it give me the same idea? Here are some pics for reference... I tried it out on my CRX which the camber is all kinds of ****ed up (waiting on the stock stuff to get here) Anywhos! on with the pics...it scrubs on 1 side and doesnt on the other.

Driver side





passenger side



weird....



random pics

 

Run a 1/2 inch spacer and never look back!

 

A 10mm wont be enough you think?

 

Was the car on the ground when u took those pics o

 

Every set of lenso's with 24.5x9 mt tires we have had to run a 1/4" spacer.

 

What are you going to do when the tire expands? Does the DA knuckle gain any clearance?

 

Took the words right out of my mouth
Run a 1/2 spacer and you'll be fine and raise that car up
I would hate to see you cut that tire open

 

I was gonna say raise that thing before you cut a tire too. I ran a 5/16" spacer on my EF with lensos

 

This crx is my daily driver so i was not worried about that...yes the car was on the ground when I took the pics..the 1/2" spacer seems like a lot I think ill go with a 1/4" spacer first and see if I need more the car that the slicks are really going on is a lot higher.

 

The EFs have a different angle on the spindle, thats why they need spacers from what Ive seen on all types of wheels. I think there's a bit more clearance on 92+Civics and Integras since the spindle is taller(?).
10mm is almost 1/2" so I'm sure you'll be ok with that. But when we ran these on an integra awhlie back, we had to use 1/4":spacers and it was fine with the 9" wide slicks. Also, when we did a proper alignment, it helped give more clearance on the spindle itself. From what it seems like, its your alignment is why it is closer on the spindle on one side and not the other.
Someone mentioned that when the tire grows, it will expand. It actually gets narrower and taller rather than get wider when the car is accelerating.

 

its touching on one side because the camber is ****ed up the guy i purchased the car from bought the cheap ebay camber kit and the bushings are damn near non existent but new ones are in the mail. I will start with 1/4" and if i need more ill worry about it later

 

good info for fitting lenso's on my hatch. car looks real good though.

 

The camber has nothing to do with the tire touching the knuckle, the only things that can affect that are wheel bearing problems, a bent knuckle, or the wrong offset wheel. Put a 1/2 spacer on that, because when you run low tire pressure, have your *** in the seat and decelerate from 100+ mph, the sidewall is going to hit the knuckle and destroy the tire. **** aesthetics, think about safety.

 

I would suggest u also getting extended wheel studs. From the pics it doesnt look like u have them

 

x2. How much thread are those nuts grabbing? 1.2 inch deff, safety first. I had the same issue with my ek with bogarts. I thought i was running the right size but didnt compensate for decelerating and it was rubbing bad. Also the car was too low and the car was bouncing to a stop scrapping the fender. Not good, changed right away. Good luck

 

ARP studs and call james at IPG and get some nice wheel spacers

 

The chasis that I'm using HAS arp extended wheel studs and what's IPG?

 

You can buy spacers at any parts store. Theres also tons of themavailable online for cheap.
- good info above.. ya get wheel studs too

 

^^^right^^^ lol how is your alignment or camber going to affect your tire rubbing on your spindle? i run da knuckles and dss 5.9 hubs and studs with a 3/4in spacer just to be safe and i shave the spindle so its nice and smooth so if for some unforseen reason it does happen to rub its on a smooth surface. safety first.... and i agree with locash the fact that one side rubs and the other doesnt is a dead give away that the spindle is bent and/or the wheel bearing is loose although if it was the bearing you would be able to tell easily as the wheel would wobble alot for the tire to move that far in.... just my pennys

 

I dont know on the old stuff but i have a eg and i had to run two spacers the 1/4 ones. After a few passes i note the studs were twisting so i had a single 1/2in aul. spacer made and i had it welded to the back of the rims and it stoped the lugs from twisting. When i got my new 24.5-9-13 i also note that one tire was closer then the other side and it ended up being it was the tire i had it turned around on the rim and it fixed it. I am also not the only one that has seen this.Two of my racer friends had the same thing happen to them.

hit up james = good guy and bad *** spacers. solid billet not auto zone cast junk

 

pep boys..... go grab 4 1/4 " spacers and put two on both sides. let it roll

 

thanks for the referreal

yes, we do have cnc machined hub centric and lug centric wheel spacers in sizes such as 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc available

email me at James@IPGParts.com for pictures and pricing

 

i have a 95 gsr integra, with the same wheel/tire setup, driverside drags, passenger doesnt. i even tried the wheel on a different knuckle and it was the same way.
