Well, there was a thread that I can't find talkin about putting EVO8 rims on an FGcoupe... As I said in that thread, my friend has them. So he calls me up today and ask me if I can help him out with his Maxima. SO I thought, hey while I'm there.... why not!


[b]All in all, I like this offset, new rims I get are NOT going to be anything less than +42[b].
KEEP IN MIND, OEM 16" STILL ON PASSENGER SIDE

side note - lowered on Tein S-techs


OEM Lug nut spacing


EVO8 Lug nut spacing - you can see its much bigger, need all new lug nuts... I dunno what kind though


17x8, +38 offset


fitted with 235/45/17












Cleaned up the rim just a bit

kind of like them muhself too

but I rather have TSX rims (to replace the stock 16")

oh yea, i didn't drive on them, because it just wouldn't be safe with the lugnut situation

 

I like how they look. On a side note, that retro needs to be finished. What is the deal with that? Still looking for shrouds?

i'll probably redo them when i get my headlights back from Josh (spoolnG?) i forget his name

but yeah, for now they serve they're fucntionality

 

any rubbing?

 

Looks nice and flush. Fills out the wheel wells nicely.

 

Those really look nice.

i dont know, i didnt drive on them, it would not have been safe/smart considering they don't fit right with the OEM lugs...

but for everyday driving I could see they would be fine, but when it comes to some seroius cornering, I could see rubbage might be an issue

 

Looking good. Would rock them for dd.

 

I read somewhere that 235 rub ? any shimmy in the steering wheel with the lug pattern beeing a little off?

 

Very nice, not sure what lugs you need though.

+ I was sweating like a pig after putting them on/off but yeah.. didn't want to test that out.. just put it on cuz folks were wondering if it could be done, what it would look like, etc. . .

Josh that looks damn good brotha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see you went with the cleared corners, don't forget to get amber turn signal bulbs

 

yeah i just left the orange ring around the high beams...and then left the reflector in there. I allready have the amber lights at home ready to go. I'm visiting my girl at school now and am probably going to install them wednesday when i get home. I think they look great though.

 

It's cool that you tried, but I'm not feelin the look of those rims on the FG. Not sure why

 

sick!

 

looks like if u would get a Hubcentric ring you would be fine. and on a 17x8 we could run a 235-40 with no issues

 

Man, I cant wait to see some BBS MR Evo wheels on a FG!

neither can I...I may have to keep my open for a set

 

You need some hubrings bro! Thats the reason why they dont sit on your hub, you can go to a local tire shop and ask for hubrings that go from a 73.1(the hub size for the enkei's i believe) - 64.1(the hub size for the 06 civic). You would not believe how many people out there sell wheels without informing their customers about hub-centric rings.

Best bet is to look on http://www.evolutionM.com

The thing that sucks... expect to pay close to 2g's for a set!
