Got new rims & tires on my GSR but have a slight problem!!!!!!
I got the 17's Falkens with white HP Hurricane on my car now. It looks bad!!!!! The only problem is that the HP rims has a plate that covers the lug nuts, I put my wheels locks on the new rims but the caps won't fit. If I would knew this I would order so other rims. Has anybody out there had this problem.? Different (shorter)lock nuts????????
Also my car for so reason is slighty lower on the driver side than the passenger side. The rare thing is that my 2000 Civic Si had the same problem slighty lower from the same side. Is this a Honda/Acura thing are what? Doesn't bother me too much unless I'm going jack up the car.

you should be able to get different wheel locks that fit.......i had the same problem when i changed rims.........my other locks were too long, but i haven't had a chance to get new ones.......try discount tires, they should help you out

they say that its slighty lower on one side because of the master cylinder. NOW im talking about slightly. If its any lowwer than that maybe you have to check out your suspension set up. Sometimes springs sag more on one side since your always in the drivers seat. Also check your shocks to see if any oil is around it. IF there is a leak, you shocks might be bad. Good Luck... BTW MY TEGI IS SLIGHTLY LOWWER ON LEFT SIDE.

It doesn't happen anymore to me, but I used to have that problem. I bought some KONI Shocks on my Neuspeed Race Springs. It rides better.

what springs are you guys using?
------------------------
I got Neuspeed Sport Springs with the stock shocks. I will change my shocks to AGX in a near future.

my car has the honda lean too. I have H&R Sports and KYB AGXs. Alledgedly it is because they are designed to be RHD, so the bulk of the engine weight is on the left hand side to supposedly make it better balanced. I think thats BS, but some people think that is why they lean.
