They Fit but not by much... I couldn't even fit my pinky in between the tire and Fender. I was wanting to go to the track this Fri(tomorrow) and I really want to run them. I realize coilovers would be idea, but i don't have the time and money to do it by tomorrow. Does anyone have any ideas for me so that I can run my car at the track.

I have:
24.5x8x13's on Lenso's with a 1.8inch Drop in a EG civic.

Thank You
Corey

 

stock springs? if you have them

 

run with no fenders or front bumper.. ...and trust me ive seen it done before

 

If i was you Corey, id just hold off. Ive seen instances of fenders buckling, and also cutting up the slicks. And ive personally had a few bumpers ripped off because of the car being too low. Trust me, when your traveling at high speeds, the last thing you want is any tire problems. Try not to rush into it, id just wait and get coilovers... Remember, If you Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail.

 

Cut the fenders? Iono...at least it'll be cheap! (free!)

Or run like 5psi of tire pressure...heh heh.

Couldn't agree more. I made a pass on my 99' EK with M&H's 24.5's and one pass cut a 1/2 inch line in it. If you really want to make a pass (Trust me, I know the feeling) remove the fender and any other items obtructing in the way of the tires and go for it.

LOL - read that out loud and then change it to make sense

 

take the fenders off and go at it, the last thing you want is to be going 100+ mph and have your fender cut your tire.

 

you want at least a finger and a half between your tire and fender. get some coilovers and run next week instead.

 

Good news guys... i just went to a friends house and he said i could take his coilovers off his old car... I took them off a couple hrs ago. TOnight i will be installing them onto my car. I can't wait.

Thanks Guys, I will let you know how the track goes(hoping for 11's)

Corey

 

well good luck with that

 

Thank You

 

Yeah good luck Give it a little extra room, remember slicks expand at 100 mph

 

Make safety a priority and make sure you don't take any risks just to get the car to the track tomorrow. If you don't feel good about something don't take any chances.

From what I hear, everything sounds like you will make it up there. Good luck tomorrow and keep us posted on those times. Take care.

I'm thinking you're making the assumption that an EK can't be an Integra. You are correct, however I was refering to the car I had 2 years ago, which was the Civic.

 

Just remember that when you launch the slicks will expand in diameter up to 1-2 inches. So leave room for that.

Actually it is because "strange" and "apparent" are contradicting words. No worries...just clarification. Although I could be missing something as well.
