I got some 18x8 + 40 rims to put on my fc. Will 225-45-18 tires work? I'm about to get the tires for free, so i cant be to choosy. i just want to make sure they fit. if not what would fit better?

 

Anyone suggest what tires to stretch if I want to run a 17x9 +25 in the front? Any photos of members with this up front? Any problems with clearance or anything with KYB AGX's and springs?

 

ok i bought some 225-40 zr18's how will these work with my 18x8 +40 rims?

 

ok i know i need a spacer, should i use a 3mm or a 5mm? somebody please help me!!!!

 

put them on and find out..

 

You need a minimum of 5mm, but you might want to invest in longer studs.

 

I would look through all 100 pages, but I figured it would be better if I just asked....

How would stock s2000 wheels fit on an 87 FC? Keep in mind I run extended wheel studs.

I also run ISC coilovers which are a little wider than factory struts. Currently running stock vert wheels with 1/2 spacers to clear in the front.

Thanks!

What are the specs on the S2k wheels. Since they're Honda wheels, I would imagine you would need a spacer (honda's have stupid high offsets.)

 

Thanks alot K!NCH I went ahead and ordered the 5mm before I got to read this, just to be on the safe side. Anyways what studs should I buy? I don't think I will need them, but I rather be on the safe side.

 

I have a 17x9 +22 front with tokico blues and Im 2-3mm from the struts in the front. You might rub

 

Front:
16" x 6.5", +55 offset, 205 tire
Rear:
16" x 7.5", +65 offset, 225 tire

5-114.3 bolt pattern


Front Wheels are 70.1 Center Bore and weigh 17.5
Rear Wheels are 64.1 Center Bore and weigh 18.6

 

You won't need them, but you will want them. I tried to run a 5mm slip on spacer and had very little thread left. I forget which studs you need, but they come off of a Camaro or something if look on SummitRacing.

 

You're going to need at least a 15mm spacer all around.

 

Hey,

I just read through the first 30, and last 10 pages of this thread, and I gotta say it's helped a bunch. I had no idea what I should be looking for when shopping for rims and tires, but this thread helped me figure it out.

Here's what I'm thinking of running:
Front: 17x7 35mm offset - tires would be 225, but not sure of the series - 40 maybe?
Rear: 17x8 27-28 mm offset - tires would be 255, but again not sure of the series - 30-35 maybe?
Suspension will be Koni Yellows with RB 1" lowering springs

I haven't narrowed down what rims I want yet - would have loved to get my hands on WedsSport SA-90 in Bronze, but they're discontinued http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

Also, where do you guys shop for rims? I've tried tirerack, discounttires, and quite a few others, but doesn't seem they carry anything wider than 7" in a 17" rim.

Thanks

All kinds of JDM mad tite rims! = )

 

If you could find out what studs i need, that would be great, I don't want aftermarket ones however, because there too long to put my wheel locks on. By the way, thanks for all the help.

 

I did put the BOSS MOTORSPORTS 308 on the vert. I was afraid of the 35mm and the 6" inch backspacing. I am running 215/40/17 all the way around. I will eventually get 225/40/17 on back.

 

Ok, so I have always known what offset was but never how to properly measure it or what units it is commonly measured in. Can someone educate me?

Someone gave me a set of rims (yes, gave me...don't ask) that will look good on my 88 N/A FC, but I am concerned about the offset because they came off a Honda (obviously front wheel dive, hence the concern). They are 18x7.5. What kind of offset should I be looking for? I don't race the car. It's just my toy/project/fun car. I do drive it kinda hard sometimes though.

Thanks

 

I need to know what the biggest tire i can fit on the front with stock fenders(only the inside lip of the fenders has been banged flush) and jic coilovers.

How can i get the biggest tire in up front even if i have to find some 16" wheels that are 7.5 - 8" wide.

 

Would 225/50/16 fit fine on my FC the Wheel has +20 offset & with 225/55/16 it rubs in the front during cornering, but the rears are fine.

225/50/16 my tire barely rubs on +40 offset.

You should have much more clearance than me, are you sure your offset is right?

 

yea for got to mention the car is dropped on Tanabe GF210s



Trini

 

Still, I find it hard to believe that with an extra 20 mm of clearance, they will still rub on the GF210's......IMHO, it should be fun.

 

18x8.5 +10
18x9.5 +5

215/35 F (Will be putting on 215/45 when I can find some, and 10-15mm spacers)
235/40 R (Will be trying to find 3-5mm spacers)

 

Can someone answer my post. #4050.

It was the last on page 162 and it seems most people didnt get to read it.
