I have an ITR....and I now have a cheap source for this size Hoosier...I was wondering if anyone had this stuffed under their R. I will be buying new wheels for these to fit on...any suggestions?

thanks again for all the input!
Ciao'

 

15x7 kosei would be the cheapest.

 

You'll more than likely have to roll the insides of the rear fender lips.

 

roll the inside of the rear fenders for sure

they'll probably also rub on the suspension unit in the rear..maybe check with wheel offset

use lots and lots of negative camber..

prolly 3 neg in front and 2.5 in the rear
it'll help u fit the wheel in the car and u'll need it to properly use the rubbber

 

Steve, the magic formula is this:

1. 15x7 wheels with 38mm offset
2. 5mm wheel spacers for rear wheels
3. Roll fender lips
4. (Remove front fender liners (optional?)

Most decent 15x7 wheels are 38mm offset - both my Enkeis (several years old) and my Koseis (several months old) are like this. The Koseis actually have the offset stamped into them.

Expect an IM soon on some other stuff...

 

I just talked to a fellow at Colleti Motorsports and he said they are running them on their ITRs without any modifications...any thoughts. I am using stock suspension so I set highter than most of you guys

Thanks

PS.....I just don't want to spend the money to learn the hard way

 

Soft spring rates = body roll = rubbing.

You're *sure* they didn't roll the fenders? Not even a little?

 

He told me that with stock ride height they didn't "have" to roll the fender.....so maybe he is telling me they did but it wasn't required...OR he is saying let it rub and don't worry about it...I am not sure. I need to just buy a darn race car and be done with trying to keep my street car in one piece

 

stock spring and struts? no problem with eiter a 15x7 +43mm or 15x7 +45mm. they will rub at full lock on the inside in the front. with the rear, some people get away with it, but on higher speed events, they might rub the trailing arm. a 5mm spacer will more than suffice. good luck.

 

i'm running them on my civic....didn't roll fenders....left liner on rear there.....used 5 mm spacers in the front not in the rear....no problems
