putting 16*7 +35 on my civic ek

[atenza]

hi guys,

i've read the FAQ and fitment guide on OZH, but i want to know your opinion.

is a 16x7 +35 too low an offset for my EJ8? the car will be moderately dropped on Tein SS

i just want to make sure the offset isnt insanely low or the rim/tyre will stick outside the body. opinions??

looking at buddy club P1 (classic)

thanks!

+35 is not a low offset, its pretty standard. shouldnt have any problems.

[MikeyG]

dont go tein SS please they arent meant for lowering.... if u got them ur going to cut thats ONLY if you them for lowering.. hope you didnt!

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

atenza you should be fine.

I had 16x7+38 and it start rub on the fender. So i am wondering +35 would be slightly more. But you can roll and flare the guard. not a big pro.

[Bludger]

Even stock rim size will scrubb if you go low enough.

its just about getting it right.

only trial and error will get you your answer.

in saying that, 16x7 +35 is perfect imo.

[mr180sx]

depends on what tyres you run, if it will scrub or not

i just installed 16x7 + 35 with 205/45. my car is pretty low so when i test fitted 1 of the rear wheels it was definately gonna scrub if i hit a bump so i went and got all 4 guards rolled. not sure if i definately needed it for the front but i used to scrub on my old wheels on full lock (15x6.5 +38 195/55)

great responses thanks guys.

i wont be dumping the car stupid low so i will pick an offset between 35-42

:thumbsup:

Im got 17's 205/45 dropped by 2" doesnt scrub at all. Right tyre profile will help.

i got 16x7 +33 on Buddy N+ it scrub pretty bad when u have a couple of Pumbas in the back or going over a speed bum without slow right down to 5 or 10k.

+35 with relatively a 0 finger gap all round will look pretty flush and perfect.
I have +42, kinda wish it was +35 now though. 35-42 is quite a safe offset range.
Then again it all comes down to ride height, as bludger mentioned.

thanks guys.

well i got my rims 16x7 +35

i want to put Kumho KU36 however their only 16'' profile is 215/45/16

has anyone tried running these tyres on a civic? i wanted 205/45 but they just dont do it in that size..hmm..

[Bludger]

then get a different tire.

[ekdez]

get a 40 profile tire. dont be soft.

[simbadda54]

Try ku31. ku36 are street semis

[atenza]

thanks. i've struck a deal on KU31's . sik.:wave:
