would like to know the largest rim sizes put on a first gen with lowering kit.
I plan on changing from stock rims and want to know if anyone has gone bigger than a 15X6.5

i put some 16X7s on my fb with a rb sport springs 1"drop, and they look pimp, ill post a pic.

 

my mate has 17x7's on his 82

 

largest that I would say without going overkill would definitly be 17's...they fill the space quite nicely and with a one inch lower it would look sweet...although I also think that 17's look best on a rex with some type of body kit

 

mine are 16x7 with 205/45/16 rubber and a 40mm offset

a good medium of performance and looks

 

thanks for the input. I think I'm going with a set of 17x7's from my sister if they
fit. haven't gotten with her yet to check rims. she had them on a civic and I'm sure the lug pattern is the same not sure of the depth though.

They do look good on her car so I know that they'll look damn good on my RX.

 

Oh they fit!!! 17x7s on P205 40Z r17's

 

I assume your driving a gsl-se then, because I'm pretty sure that civics aren't 4x110. Good luck.

civics arent 114.3 either!

 

Why is bigger better?

 

Damn... That totally rocks!

 

 

bigger the tire more traction IE hang turns harder take off faster

 

Agreed...staggered wheel sizes help, too, since we have rear wheel drive cars.

 

Hey N00B.

Could you please slow down with the stupid posts?

 

honda rims wont fit an rx7. they're 4x100.

 

WRONG.......................

CIVIC's are 4x100, 4 lug accords are 4x114.3, the same as the GSL-SE

 

i agree

 

Christ...where's you humor?

 

17's are wack way too big

 

Not necessarily, there is a point where it's detrimental to performance. 15" is about perfect as far as performance goes.

 

exactly. i just bought some 17's for my nissan, they are pretty heavy
