civic fd wheels

[cuongn]

just wondering does anyone know how wide can u go on da rear, and wide at da front.. i want 18x9 rear and front 18x8.5..., or would 18x8.5 all round be better.

[ej20i]

WOW!!!why so big?

[aero]

they will fit, provided that the offset is right. i think the rears can even handle 9.5" wide, depending on the offset. for the FDs its probably best fit to get an offset as close to +45 as possible.

btw! there's already a wheel thread in this section and the question has been answered a few times >.<

Your wheel sizes for FD Civic (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 ... Last Page)

im sure you will find your answer in there..

i think ivan has the most craziest wheels here..

im running 18x8 and 18x9 +35 all round.. but you would have read that many times if you clicked the search button. :thumbsup:

also if you had did a bit of reasearch.. you'd have noticed that some people refer to a website called 8thgen.. there isa whole forum dedicated to wheels. check it out.

[Stig]

you would have notice my previous wheels as well :)

[b5omy]

i use 19X8.5 +40 for the front and 19X9.5 +35 for the rear.. just get camber kit , roll the fender and lower it with tein spring...

[ekdez]

what tire sizes are you using? b5omy
and what camber kit?
did you do anything else besides roll your guards? i.e. relocate a bolt?

p.s. pic's or your full of shit.
wheel specs you stated will hit the oem shock perches if you only have lowered springs..

just got 1 pic by phone.. but this 1 before i lowered it.. i use skunk2 camber kit and the tire 235/35/19 for all... got the rims from ATJO, they guy with blue euro...

much sbrubbing if 3 people behind but if 2 people its ok... but pretty much happy with the car rite now...

[ekdez]

need to lower it more. the gaps aren't attractive.
but when you lower it more your gonna run into problems like what im getting atm.. gonna take you a lot of work to make them fit fine.
i feel sorry for you atm.. you have a nice set of rims tho. gl

[b5omy]

thanks for your comment ekdez... the picture is before i put the tein spring.. so maybw now is a bit lower.. anyway what ur rims spec? and what problem you got?

upload some pics with ur car how it is now, man. would like to see the drop on the tein s-tech springs. im running the same size tyres as you, but im still waiting on the ato to give me my tax money back so i can stretch some 225s on.

[ekdez]

i got bc n+ coilovers and skunk2 rear camber kit(piece of shit)
18x8 +35 front is ok. just havent removed some of the guards
18x9 +35 on rear. with a 225/40 atm. getting 215/40or35 this week.
guards needed to be rolled and have been, and now the bolt which holds the bumper to the chassis needs to be relocated because it is scrubbing on the tire tread. other then that ive already scrubbed off the parts which needed to be scrubbed away.. i.e. bits of the rear bumper.
the wall of my tire is as smooth as a babies bottom because of the scrubbing too

i just couldn't believe you could said "just..." get this and that.. like its so easy.. a lot of work is needed lol and its really not practical to say the least.

probs sounded like an arsehole before.. sorry.. but anyhow, if you manage to fit them in :thumbsup: i suppose its something to work towards =] gl with it.. gonna look nice.. grab a kit .. its a must for the fd.

[aero]

you have a red fd! havnt seen many members in here with one. would like to see how it will look with whatever kit u decide to put on it (if u get one).

[ekdez]

should grab the rr LOL or the dominator..

so you're the ones that got those rims.... i was thinking about getting them off him... but if i did get them my coils wouldve been useless and im not going on springs again :) i did get the m3 spoiler off him though ;)

yeah.. no problem man.. i am looking also for kit.. but not now.. too much spend already... must save again for the kit..

[b5omy]

should grab the rr LOL or the dominator..

last time before bought this i plan to get the rr.. but nw think of getting FD2R kit..

[b5omy]

so you're the ones that got those rims.... i was thinking about getting them off him... but if i did get them my coils wouldve been useless and im not going on springs again :) i did get the m3 spoiler off him though ;)

lol.. so i am quicker than you.. :p but i also think of change my original shocks to tein super street.. need something stiffer than the oem 1.. to avoid scrubbing...

[ekdez]

wont help. your wheel widths are wrong.
hence why stig said his tein ss would be useless..
he was running something like 20x8.5 +45 or something lol.. n sold the wheels after a few months

hi ekdez.. you also use skunk2 camber kit rite? originally its made not for FD, its for FG american version. so ur camber kit need to be modify abit so it cam camber more..

[ekdez]

how did you modify it to camber more?

[b5omy]

shave the camber arm and the bolt.. so it shorter and can give you more camber.. i think its hard to said.. it might better i took some picture soon and send it to you... anyway i am planning to move the bolt for bumper.. have u already move the bolt? and where did you move it?

[ekdez]

my bolts fell out whilst driving.
one day it was less scruuuuppping around corner LOl..
now just using the tire to wear out the bumper haha!
ill do somthing about it sooner or later..

My old rims looks prefect on your car, just need to roll the guard = more camber + lower ;) Just $1300 more for the bodykit & rolling the guard :p

[UCNDRM]

lovin the red FD, i dont think they had that colour when i bought mine

basterds lol

the rims are lookn mighty fine brother, i agree with atjo go lower

maybe atjo can hook us up with some coilovers? mine needs to be dumped harder aswell

[aero]

quick question. this may seem silly, but i just wanna know if my current 235 wide tyres will fit on a 8" wide wheel?

[ekdez]

yes will be bubble fit tho.
225 is a 8" wide tire.
215 is a 7" etc..

[aero]

will there be any major issues with having a wider tyre than the wheel?

[ekdez]

dunno maybe just more tire wear..?

[b5omy]

thanks bro...

[b5omy]

how did you modify it to camber more?

Ekdez.. the red colour that i put in picture.. that part you need to shave it around 10mm to make it camber more.. but if you want more maybe you can shave it more.. hopefully can help you too... :cool:

[ekdez]

shit your rim looks pretty close to the shock.. do they hit?
and wow that spring is massive.. or is your car jacked up?

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/puff_doggy/Image168.jpghttp://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/puff_doggy/Image169.jpg

but this is where my wheels sits..

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn72/puff_doggy/IMG_1328.jpg

[b5omy]

thats when i jack up the car.. lol.. ur car look nice bro... have u shave the camber kit.. make it more camber...

[aero]

ur wheels seem to fit just snuggly inside the guards, ekdez. is that mainly due to ur stretched tyres, since u say the skunk2 camber kit doesnt do much?

[ekdez]

yeah when i put the wheels on before i rolled my guards.. i couldnt put a piece of paper between the tire wall and the guard..
but now that ive rolled it, the 225/40 fits very snug, but gonna go a 215/40 just to stretch it even more =] and slam it more =]
just spending money elsewhere atm :(

[ganj3]

Hey guys just wanna make sure these set of wheels I'm thinking of getting will fit. A set of 17x7 with a +47 offset should fit right since the Sport rims have a similar setup except with a +45 offset?

[b5omy]

it will fit your car... because offset 47 is original offset i think..

[aero]

original offset is +45. ganj3, those wheels are perfectly safe. u wont/shouldnt experience any issues with them

[ekdez]

b5omy

i noticed you trying to sell your wheels =,= LOL
whats the reason?

[bullshite]

cos he wanted to get a more sporty one xD

[ekdez]

they are sports one's :|

[aero]

ahhh im still trying to sell mine as well. rofl...
but my coils will be coming in next week and ill see how much having stiffer suspension will help scrubbing. i only plan to lower it by about 1.5"... but thats not to say i wont try to dump it as low as possible to get some pics. but ill probably have to get some thinner tyres for that.

since the rear right of the car is sorta lower for some weird reason, i noticed that you have the same problem and your spring seats are uneven, how many mm on the spring seat is the right one higher by? saves me time to measure it when i redo mine on the weekend :thumbsup:

[ekdez]

i have no idea dude! but the reason its lower on the right is because of the fuel tank :thumbsup:
i took one of the rings off from the left side.
ill measure the mm of the ring tommorrow for you.. its a bit cold atm.

most likely it will be around 5mm..
