depend on your offset

[Stig]

you can do 20x8.5 with a 235/30/20 tyre as well, offset +45?

[nesterjester]

depend on your offset

what if your offset is 35 or 38?

[tqt]

offset +45. what is the best offset for 20"x8.5 for Cu2 to clear the guards?

thanks guys

[hondar]

what if your offset is 35 or 38?

rear is fine.. +38 ~ +45

front +40 ~ +45

[nesterjester]

rear is fine.. +38 ~ +45

front +40 ~ +45

thanks for that
so if the front is less then +40 the guards will need to be rolled?

[albii]

My 8 inch +45 is almost flush.so 8.5 will be nice.

[tqt]

how but offset 58?

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

offset + 58 on a 8.5 inch rim will sit heaps in making the wheels look cheap, a spacer would be necessary,
I think you talking about the Gnosis for sale, there nice but the weak offsets ruin a great wheel just like Q.D's Varianza wheels.

[felixd]

hellaa flush it ! ! ! !

BTW R u wanting more dish or the flush looks ?

[tqt]

Hi, guys

please somebody confirm that if i put 20" x 8.5 offset: +35 front and rear on my CU2 with tyres 225/30Z/R20 and also i plan to lower the car with eibachs. will they have scrubbing issues or i need to roll the guards?


Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance

im in the same boat but im 225/35/20 and i want to put h&r's...
i think with such a low offset the wheel or tyre will hit the fender when the car hits a bump... anyone care to elaborate?

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

If you read in a few posts back, hondar (JDM concept) said +38 -+45 in the rear will be fine and front +40 will be fine,

So +35 all round will need to roll the guards all round definetly, with a tiny drop from eibach or H&R springsd as you guys will get no natural camber in at all, the wheels will actually stick out past the fenders especially the fronts. meaning it will look unko with out a big drop, better off to choose a higher offset if your not planning to go very low.

[tqt]

oooo ok thanks man

[denot]

hi guys,

will 19*7.5 +45 fit CU2? What tyre size will be the best?

Thanks heaps...

thanks albii! what tyre did u use? what load rate? did u lower it?

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

he used 245/35/19 load rating 93, Dunno what brand.

All load ratings will be the same on each diffrent brand tire in that size.

Yeah, that sucks because it's illegal.....

[Rudy]

Yeah, that sucks because it's illegal.....

damn that sucks that stock is 98, but a tleast in Vic you'd have no trouble since a vicroad engineer ok'd mine that was under the stock rating. As long as the new rating is more than adequate to cover the laden weight.

Every where else in the world got 92 rated tyres..... go figure?

[taccord12]

isn't 245 a little wide for a 7.5 inch application? i'm pretty sure 245 is like an 8.5 to 9.5 range... better stick with stock tread width 235 imo


i highly doubt cops will put over the new euros anyways, but since my load rating for my tyres is 95 only, i'm in the process of getting custom tyre placards

[denot]

^^^ That what I thought as well... but tyre stores seems to say its ok... :S

custom tyre placard? I thought the load rate was printed on the tyre's wall?

[QUOTE=denot;2586479]^^^ That what I thought as well... but tyre stores seems to say its ok... :S

The load rating is (or should be) marked on the tyre sidewall.

what u mean by process of getting custom tyre placards?

[taccord12]

yes the load rating is stated on the tyre wall, and it says 95, as oppose to the sticker next to the driver's seat that says 18" with 98W rating, right? so basically what the cops do is they just look at that if they want to know what ur stock load rating is suppose to be, so if you get custom tyre placard or a replacement sticker, that changes the load rating to say... 93 or 95, something same as or below the load rating you have for your aftermarket tyres and the cops will look at it and be like, oh right he's matching the "minimum" load rating, then you're all sweet!

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

Never thought of that,

The only thing is finding someone who will do a exact replica of a Honda sticker with a modified Load Rating.

[taccord12]

yeah well, i'm getting mine this week sometime hopefully, i'll let you guys know how it goes once i've got it :) i've changed the size on it from 18 to 19 as well, so i can escape from the +1 rule if cops decides to be a dick about it

Lol, how did u check how it goes? find a police car and ask "Can you tell if this label is fake?" :p jkz jkz

haha, not the best idea no LOL, but nah i'll just compare it with the existing one, i'll take some snap shots and stuff as well, i might have a spare one that i hopefully wont need :) since i ordered 2 just to be safe

sweet where you get the custom tyre placard or a replacement sticker

[Soulful]

I'm planning to get those rims on my new Volcano Grey CU2, 18x8 with deep dish at the back,

also what tyre should i try to get with it, prob going to Tempe Tyres.

wat you guys think?? thanks

[RiceMeister]

what are you lowered on Soulful? what wheels are they?

The CU2 is a pretty big car, might want to go with a bit more of an aggressive fitment, perhaps 18x9 on the back for a staggered stance?

18*8.0 Fusion - Shadow $1399 or $1699 Deep dish on rear

I won't be lowering it, would it look weird on stock height?? had a lowered Skyline for the last 5 years, want something more comfy.

also with all the different brand of tyres Tempe tyre provides which one should i go for?

[Soulful]

Nice rims.:thumbsup:

thanks!

[felixd]

thanks!

u need at least 19 - 20inch mate not the 18. it will look too small. the CU2 hav dat big arse wheel arches lol . 18 inch too puniiiieee well that wheel u want to get the bbs look alike is ok :) but need 19 inch for sure mate

Just had a look around at some CL9/CU2 comparison photos and I gotta agree with felix, 18 is going to be too small for Cu2. gotta fill up the wheel arches, perhaps go for some 19x8 or 19x8.5?

I personally think suspension should be done before wheels so you know what will fit and what won't so you don't have to mess around with suspension later on.

Cars on stock height with aftermarket wheels tend to look a bit strange as you'll still have a big wheel gap and it just looks funny. If you still want to maintain a comfortable ride just go with a minor drop, 1.2 inches or so. just to get your wheels sitting a bit nicer in the guards rather than boat-spec.

[Soulful]

Yeah thanks guys

looks like 19 is the way to go uh??

man plus a decent set of suspension, i'm looking at 3.5k at least~! DAAAAAMN

I'd just go Eibach springs mate. No need coilovers or the likes.

I'd also go 19's too! ;)

Agreed.Eibach springs will give it a nice drop.Do thi springs 1st.then see what size looks good.

VS-FX FTW!! they look great mate, nice dish too ;)

[zeke]

Can you get 245/45/18's comfortably under the standard guards on 8" rims on the CU2

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

I think the Works Gnosis series looks better than the vs-fx but this should still look good,

8.5 is a bit thin though..

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

If I was you, I would buy these wheels the specs are for a CU2, with a 1 inch drop.. there from member me_kevinly and there only like $1850
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115345
Also they are Japanese 2pc so the quality is to the highest standard.
Do it right the first time and you will be getting compliments on your car everyday.
Slap on a cheap set of 20' tyres of Ebay 225/35/20 x4 =$560
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/225-35-20-HIgh-Performance-DURAN-Tyres-CHEAP_W0QQitemZ260524853466QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_C ar_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ca87dc8da
And buy some cheap coilovers something like ksports, D2 or BC Racing for about $1300 fitted, Springs are too expensive from the states, I know the new 08+ Accord Coliovers fit the CU2.

So pretthy much you can have cheap ass no name wheel aand tyre package from tempe tyres with a set of tein springs for like you said $3500
Or you can have a set of 20' Branded Work japanese wheels and tyres with full coilover suspension. for around the same price..

I know which setup I would choose.

[tqt]

what offset the wheels?

plus my priority is praticality since it is a family car too.

when you are single and no responsibility you can do crazy stuff.

i was the first few who did engine swap on an ek back then. now it is as common.

hehehhe, priority changed

yeah we talked about it, in the end you make your decision but in the long run you probably still be happy about it.

of course you want more, i want more too but just for me it is not practical so i settle for this. :thumbsup:

If your changing the wheels, I just think do it once, do it Right, since your spending the money anyways may aswell throw in a couple hundred more and go all out.

Each to their own i guess.

[[ IV 23 VI ]]

Thats only because your used to seeing no named wheels on every other car.

If they were the same wheels but with a low off set and wider, u will not only go wow but also blow in your pants.. :p

what i am trying to say is, i am not prepared to do something like you would do.

i like to just do it without modifying the guards etc etc..

as you say to each his own.

everyone has its own principle i guess. nothing wrong as each to his own.

even the way i trade is different. i only sell pure jdm brands. i dont sell usa brand, replica or anything else as and thats the path i choose.

i guess thats whats forum should be. you share what is your opinion BUT you dont impose what it should be done.

when come to modifying, the rule belong to the owner of the car. he or she can follow the style or current trend, and if he decide to adopt or mix and match, thats his own too.

having said that, if my car is slammed i cant go to a lot of place with car that low. and i need to be able to have driveable car anywhere since i have wife and kid now and i want them to be happy, so i modify with them in consideration :D
