I'm putting the tenzoR mean6 17x7 on my EG, does anyone know how low it can go without rubbing ? I'm going with springs so please no posts about coilovers thanks -) any brand perferd I was thinking the Eibach because I heard they were good as well as Skunk2.

 

IMHO..not very low.
Get some 15's or 16's

 

Maybe 1" to 1.5", if you haven't bought them yet I would go with 16's.

yep 17" is a bit too big for civic!! 16=perfect

 

Alright well I orderd my 17x7 so ya nothing I kan do about it. anyways they dont sell these rims any smaller and the only rims i like so ya. any suggestions other then other rims sizes -)

 

get coilover instead of springs, so in case they scratch, raise them

 

Yea I was going to get coilovers but everyones saying the performance is nice but the ride sucks. And I'm really not up to having a bumpy *** ride if ya know what i mean. I mean if ya know something i dont know please inform me thanks -)

It's all about the springs and shocks. Ground Control uses Eibach springs and they're pretty cheap. For under $600 you can get a set of Ground Controls and Tokico Blues. I had those on my first car and I'd say it's an excellent beginner set up. If you have a little more money and want some damper adjustability, go with the Tein SS from vtecvoodoo. He sells them for $875. I had those on my last Civic and the ride was superb.

You know what? Those are nice rims, IMHO. Just about the only Tenzos I like.
I had TenzoR Mean6 in bronze w/ a polished lip on my white previous EK.
It was the best thing I did to that car besides the turbo B18..

I wouldn't get 17s though, mang.

 

agreed, they are nice rims. since you did buy them already. get the coilover full set-up or springs like h&r sports and kyb agx's. it's my opinion to get the h&r sports and kyb agx's if your on a low budget. good luck on your decision.
