First, I know I might get ish for posting something that is already up. I haven't seen any similar posts to this so here's what im asking. If the answer to this has already been answered please link me in a reply or pm me. Anyways im about to buy the new xxr 531 ccw reps and before any purchasing I need to know with my stock 95 gsr will the 15 or 16x8 +20 offset rub? I'm looking more towards the 15"s but I want to know if either of them rub on a stock set gsr that I most likely will drop an inch. Im not into the slammed look. If In the long run I slam it I know that a rolled fender/pulling/flared all of that wicombats to happen but for now, stock gsr (suspension) which will rub or not rub? Perfect tire size to make it not rub and what tire/rim combinations will require me to roll my fenders. I don't want to buy camber kits. The most ill do is roll my fenders nothing more. So yes what combo's will be perfect so that I don't have to do anything and if that's impossible what combo's will be perfect if I only and only roll my fenders. Thank you for your time, help a fellow gsr owner out!!!

 

I dont see the point in getting wheels with a low offset if youre not going to lower your car OR lower it much because these will stick out. That said, if its the look you are going for then by all means. If it isnt then get some regular offsets and not concern urself with rubbing or fender rolling.

From all the researching ive done there is no perfect answer. Most people roll their fenders but ive read a few times where people did not and claim not to have any problems with rubbing. Every single persons drop and suspension set up is different so results will vary. Since you arent going low even when u do drop it i doubt you will encounter much rubbing. Im going with 16x8 myself and while i didnt want to modify my body at all i went ahead and had the fenders rolled just to give myself that extra clearance. To run these wheels low, you need camber kits. Im not tucking tire so i can probably get away without it. To what i said earlier i think these are not the type of wheels ideal for what you want. Youre gonna get all kinds of answers and most of them are probably already stated somewhere. Do what i did and read through the threads but youll probably come to the same general conclusion that i gave you. Youll have plenty of time to decide. Goodluck getting the 531's before end of summer. Not one single person has received a set yet and they were due in feb, preordered in dec.

 

Ahhh great info ^^ over time the look that I want is a bit low but not too low, of course when money comes into play, coilovers will help me get that middle low not to stockie looking and not too slammed. Yeah I've been looking at the 531's for a while and they officially officially let them out on the 16th a couple days ago; of course first come first serve yknow? I believe on nlmotoringDOTCOM. Correct me if
I'm wrong. Okay here's the deal, if I did lower my car I would have to buy camber kits and I would have to roll my fenders of cours? Along with that do you know the best tire/rim combo? I've read a lot of people stretching their tires and buying bigger tires. I just want a straight forward answer to my specific problem lol.

 

Anyone else with opinions? Knowledge? I need multiple opinions on this. To clear things up. Currently have a stock gsr everything. Going to buy some 15x8 +20 offset rims. I need to know the perfect tire size for them and after that I will be buying coilovers to get the low look that I want. Not stock and not slammed. Once that is done what was needed to make my rims/tires clear? If you are running the set up that I want, how low did you drop your car and what things were done to make those bad boys clear. Once again I will not be slamming my car. Los Angeles has too many bumps and pot holes for me to look out for lol. Let me know!! Js a newbie needing some knowledge!!

Buy stock size wheels and call it a day

Quick Question? What Would The camber kit help For? Clearance?

 

When you lower integras the top of the wheels dip in like this / \ and causes premature tirewear. Camber kits correct this making the wheel almost straight up and down.

Sean far as the wheel issue goes, get the 15x8s, with a 215-45-15 tire, this way you shouldnt rub even with a 2" drop

 

thanks alot i have a camber kit i think but dont know how to adjust it, i posted a thread about my alignment i think it might have something to do with my camber kit my susopension or something but my tires got worn too quick ?

 

Most people with camber kits take their cars to alignment shops because they have the proper equipment to dial it in perfectly. If your tires are wearing more on the inside/outside then yes your camber is off.

For instance I need an alignment on my car, I'm lowered on kyb agx shocks with H&R Race springs, no camber kit, and my tires on the inside are slick while the middle and outside still have lots of tread

 

Ok but could it be because of a toe alignment needed ? Could that be why my tires worn evenly ?

 

Woah I never thought of that, now if it get the 15's with this size of a tire, you say I won't rub at all? 100% sure? Lol and will camber come into an effect on my tire or will everything be good with a 2" drop? Jw

 

Can't be 100% sure naturally because it depends on what suspension you get, also another big part of this is the offset of your wheels, if you get low offset then they will stick out quite a bit, BUT if you get some with say 32+ or even 40+ you would be perfectly fine, and if you get a 215-40-15, you should be golden.

As long as you get an alignment negative camber shouldn't be an issue.

 

What if they're at a +20 offset? Any ideas?

 

bump

 

You should be fine but its not gonna look very good. Gonna look like a truck with meaty tires.

 

is that because the offset is at 20?

 

i play on running them on a 195/45/16. is that a good choice in size? or what is a good size in your opinion?

 

it will stick out a bit, but mostly cuz you wont be lowering it too much.

I have a 205/50/15 on my 15x8 +25 integra. Doesnt feel very good or safe. go with a 215/45/15 size. Its not safe to run any thing smaller then my size. Unless you dont care about uneven tire wear and your a hardparker.

 

im running 501's on my girls sedan. 16x8 15 offset. 195/45/16. its tucking tire all around. NO CAMBER KIT. slight rub upfront on hard turns. all fenders rolled. you will be fine if you just roll your fenders with a 20 offset and 205/40/16 or 195/45/16...it might look dumb tho if it isnt low enough and your running a low offset

good luck

 

Check out this link. The 15th post

These are 15x8 +33ish rims and about what it would look like on a lowered civic.

This link has a 15x8 +20 on a civic to give you an idea.

A + 33 will give you more of a flush look with the fender and a +20 is going to poke out a little bit!!!

The added inch of rim is a waste since you have to stretch a smaller tire to fit. It is just added weight unless your looking for for looks.

I am more of a functional person. I plan on going with a 15x7 +33 with 205/50/15's.

 

Bump

 

Is there a reason your bumping this?

 

He is not wrong completely. The toe adjustment is what is the main cause of uneven tire wear. You do cause uneven wear the lower you go but like I said the toe is the main cause
