[CL9] Low offset wheels

[tonysalib]

im getting the VX310

How big are you going? 20"? Can you even fit anything larger than that on the CL9?

[longers]

How big are you going? 20"? Can you even fit anything larger than that on the CL9?

why would you want to go any bigger? :S

[tonysalib]

why would you want to go any bigger? :S

Oh I wouldn't. It's just that Rein always goes extreme so I figured he would try to break the boundaries a bit :)

[Rein]

Im going for 19s

[felixd]

SSR Prof 18x9.5 +15 All round?

yeps all around

[tonysalib]

Im going for 19s

Nice. I always thought that was the best diameter size for the CL9.

Sup dudes... i have a set of tein street basis coilovers and i've maxed out the rears in terms of lowness.. i want to go lower without switching coilovers though.. the rear sits at 1 finger gap atm.. i'm thinking of removing one of the collars, but the thing is that on these coils, the collars sit under the springs, not on top.. would i have any problems? also is there anything else i can DIY to get moar low? cheers!

[moogle]

hi just a question if the evo 7 oem rims will look good on a euro? and will these specs fit the cl9 on stock height
tyres: 235 45 17
rims 17'8'35+
thanks

[MWAKU]

evo 7 wheels dont even look good on the evo. lol

[jzx_andy]

they'll fit easy but wider/lower offset wheels on stock height looks preeetty silly

[Fredoops]

Evo 8 rims look strangly good on the euro:

I have Tein Super Streets, height adjustment is same for basics n SS, wat i did was order custom springs made for the coils from Tein site themselves, was like 200 ish for a pair. spring was 250mm i went 200mm and upped the spring rate a kilopound wateva the unit is....LOL

^why dont u just adjust the spring purch? it is free.

Brulee, our Tein SS/Basics arent like the Buddywubwubs, we onli have the collars/perches at the bottom and wehn we adjust the height n shiet, it moves the whole spring up and or down. We aint lucky enough to have the ones where you can move the body up n down as separate to the spring n pre loads.

it can fit, but requires, guard roll, light to med pull on all corners, rear tab removal, inner triming cut all corners, camber kit for front and rear and stretched tyres, so like 215 for fronts, and 225 for rears.
them specs would look damm nice though.

yeah, i think i'll just go with the shortened springs w/ higher spring rate.. not too pricey and ill be able to go way lower then with removing the collar/s

so ghey that my fronts can go about 40mm lower than my rears :(

thanks for your info tranz appreciate it

[ricerockets]

How much camber you reckon tranz? One of my favourite rims ATM lol

[TRaNz]

front -2.5
rear between -2 to -4

these are measurements im going by wat i run atm. Them specs are pretty much the same as mine, although the front since your .5inch wider might have small issues on full lock with the rim hitting the coils/strut.

as for height, id assume you are less than 1 finger gap between the tyre and fender?

when i was running 18x9.5 +25's i had -4 in the rear and -1.5 in the front. plenty of space for lock + strut clearance. (no pull in the front - roll only)

[ricerockets]

is it necessary to run -4 on the rears? dont think i wanna go that low lol ideally i want it around -2

fronts you'll be able to get away with just tucking the lining and going with 215's.. 225's: you'd probably be safe not going below 1 finger gap, and being a little careful with big dips on the road haha..

not too sure about rears but the info should be in this thread!

[TRaNz]

nah mang....lil bit more neg camber like -2.5 to -3 and cut off the rear bumper tab and just roll the guard a light roll and you should be good mang.

You would've been fine if you had another +10 offset

[ricerockets]

i didnt think so either. but there is nothing on the rim to indicate width or offset. so im just going off what my mate says since they are his but he bought them off someone else lol so hes just going off what the previous seller said lol

[euRo_noob]

For what? Wheel sticking outta the arches?


Surprisingly no. I would've thought he'd d*ck me for the wheels but it was just for height. "Did you know you are low? Wayyyy too low actually....." And my tints caught his attention too, he checked them, 31%.

I've got exact same size/offet on my CL9. It'll fit just fine. You'ld find that the wheels may seem to stick out a bit, but it's actually flush with your guards. Will def have to lower it though. 225/40/18 will fit 8.5" just fine, but will give a tiny bit of stretch.

More grip, change of effective track size maybe?

[ChaosMaster]

More grip, change of effective track size maybe?

Could be the change in track. Idono. But do note that the turning circle rating on the CL9's own brochure shows that the Lux on 17" had a 0.1m larger turning circle than the base on 16". Most sports cars with wide tyres also have terrible turning circles, although they do tend to have faster steering.

Hi all. What needs to be done to fit 16x8 with 0 offset? Already got 18x8 +37 front, 18x9 +32 rear with just the rear guards rolled. Seen these 16x8's for a great price, so need to know how much work needed to make them fit. Thanks.

friend of mine is asking if 17x9 +35 will fit on stock height euro? imo i think it wont lol??

[TRaNz]

friend of mine is asking if 17x9 +35 will fit on stock height euro? imo i think it wont lol??

at stock height.....will fit easy.....but why at stock height......LOL.
But once he lowers it, the usual basics need to be done ( roll all guards with a light to medium pull, inner trimming cut on all corners, camber kits all round and rear bumper tab removal. )

[Bobo]

Hey guys, do you think 18x8.5 +29 front and 18x9.5 +37 rear will fit without doing extreme modification running on 225/40/R18, so far i've rolled my guard both front and rear, also going to place a rear camber kit

[TRaNz]

depends how low you are. Though the 8.5, id say run 215 instead. Will need to roll the fronts more so its like a bit of a pull/flare if your tucking tire or plan to and thats with a front camber kit at about -2.2
Rears on 225 is fine, remove the rear bumper tab and relocate it if you want and bit of negative camber ( -2 or more ) and you will be right.

[Bobo]

my car approximately 14-16cm high from the ground measuring at the bottom of the front bumper, is it still recommended to have camber at the front

[TRaNz]

how many finger gap is that between tire and fender?
Id say yes to front camber kit because if its just natural front camber, it will bearely be anything and will poke out quite a bit and look sorta odd.

[TRaNz]

actually, no the front wont look too bad sorry. Just run 215 at the front and it should be mint. 225 is a bit meaty and could give u rubbing issues while in motion.

[Bobo]

Okay, Thanks for the advice

[ricerockets]

Am i too optimistic in thinking of trying to fit a 10" +21 on the rear of a bagged euro?

my brother has CU2 now he wants wheels, hes intrested in D1r's and rota P45R2

im not sure what i can fit under there... i have read this thread for a while now and im more confuzed lol

but what i can gather is 8"-8.5" front and 9"-9.5" back should be ok with gaurd rolling. offsets roughly 30-35 can someone confirm this so i can buy the poor bugga some wheels hes been waiting for 2 months now lol

just cause I know nothing about offsets....

looking at a set of wheels
Front: 18x7 +40
Rear: 18x8 +52

would I need any nip tucks to make it fit?

[longers]

+52 seems a bit high in the offsets but you should need any nip n tuck

[tonysalib]

Yeah it'll be too sunk in. Try and go for max +40 with a 8" or even 9" width for that near flush look.

How do you find the overall driveability of the car with those wheels/fitment?...I've been thinking about a set of 19" rotiforms, but i don't think i could live with myself if i shelled out afew grand for a set of rims and couldn't relax while driving

[Snoop_gee]

Wow mamamia, exactly same spec but mine is red lug nuts and your car is better with the drop and obviously you have Euro R body kit which mine is not.

I've had air suspension before, on a car with 20's and stretched 30 series tires... The suspension was surprisingly stiff... But my main concern was camber and potholes

[Fredoops]

Quick question.
Front: 17x7.5 +40 (dont think theres problems there)
Rear: 17x8 +32 (not sure about those)

comments?

[longers]

What exactly are you worried about Fredoops? If it's scrubbing then you have nothing to worry about!

[Fredoops]

Nah, Im not in the flush crowd so i just don't want anything to poke out,

[longers]

Thats fine then, ain't no poking happening there.

[d_evilz]

@xanctus, since then, i've readjusted the coils to get rid of the scrubbing, but will be readjusting it tomorrow once again. haha
the kit is the 06-08 mudulo kit. (one you get from the stealerships)
what coils are you running. also any scrubbing/rubbing at that height?
what camber are you running at the rears?

[CalebEuro]

Will 17x9 koya drift tek rims fit, my cl9 at stock height?
I want to lower it later down the track, I know I will have to roll the guards then.

[Bigpauly2788]

Yeah I have -3, tyre wear is pretty even just rotate regularly.


For looks and low offset does this help?

Hey my setup is exactly like this. Same wheels, same specs and I am selling the wheels too :) I have Yokohama S-drive tyres on all four (very good tyres) the setup cost me $4.5k. But im selling for pretty cheap :) let me know if anyone is interested your car would end up looking like this white one! My mobile is 0435617225.

Hey mate,
I am lowered with just spring. Since I bought 2nd hand from a junk yard, I don't know the brand nor the mm of dropping.
Interestingly it is not rubbing at all and many comments that I should lower it even more to look good, which I agree but as a daily car and family car, I am happy where it is now.

[CalebEuro]

What offset should I get? I wanna run 17x8 on the front and 17x9 on the back. Will I have to roll the guards or anything at stock height. Maybe lowering later on.

X9 at rear I think you need to roll guards if your offset under 35
I guess you need 225 tyre as well
Correct me if I am wrong

[tonysalib]

What offset depends on the look your after and your budget as you usually gotta pay to get the specific offset your after. A +40 of +45 would be widely available on a lot of after market wheels out there and you wouldn't need to roll guards for that.

If you're after a nice flush look I think +35 front, +30 rear would be ideal for the widths you mentioned, but in this case lowering is a must to complete the look and you would definitely need roll the guards.

Hope that helps.

[mr-pham]

18x8.5 +35 all round - would that fit fine with natural camber? Do I need to do anything else besides rolling my guards?

[Rooster]

If I go 18x8 all round, what's the highest offset you could go before having to roll guards etc.
I heard for Euro's it should be between +45-55 but some people have 38 without rolling guards?

[Jiblet]

how low is your car?

I've had 8+30 on mine with stock suspension and it fit fine. 8+35 will have 11mm less inner clearance but will have 1mm more inner clearance than the stock 17x7+55. So it should fit.
I would put them on and see if the natural camber tucks them in. If not, just get an adjustable camber kit.

[Rooster]

It's not lowered yet but I will be getting an Eibach pro kit with Koni Yellows

[xanctus]

Mine is 18x8 with 35+offset and didn't need to roll guard or any camber kit. But again, mine is not as low as many people have on their euro. Going lower will make your car look hot and I am happy where mine sit as this is still my family car.

[kyfer]

i think im going to go with either the XXR 527s or 530s.

i just want to make sure that they will fit on my CL9 lowered on buddys and if any guard work will need to be done, so any feed back would be great!

Specs:

XXR 530
18 x 8.75 +33
*both front & rear

XXR 527
18 x 8.75 +35
*both front & rear

Thanks

[siir]

Need ur advice guys, would the specs below fit cl9? Im lowered 1.5 finger gap front, 1 finger gap rear (with rear ingalls camber kit)
17 x 8
Offset: +38
5 x 114.3

Tires 235/45/17

Thanks heaps

[sameol3]

Would fit fine, pretty safe offset. If it were below 35 then might of needed a bit of guard work.

[markie92]

18x9.5 +38 front and rear (thinking of getting 225/40). any guard work needed? camber? I actually just want it to be flush.

or is this overkill?


Thank You

[peetah]

Hey guys would anyone know if these would fit without any guard work?

18x7.5 +42
18x8.5 +38

Lowered roughly an inch. Ideally not looking at dialling in camber.

[brizo]

i just bought 17x7 et 40 wheels.. are these ok offset??

also hope I'm the only euro with blitz type 03s27485

[Dans]

Hey all. I'm pretty new haven't had my euro long.
Wondering if these specs will fit and if so with what modifications

The cars stock height currently but will chuck in some lowered springs till I save for coils

Front:19x8.5' +35 REAR:19x9.5' +40 with 245/35/19

[phuxscarnon]

18x9.5 +35 with possible 225/40 all round still need to get tyres...would i need guard work/camber kits/etc? on bc coils

[kerfuffel]

I run 18x8 +38 on 225/40 tyres dropped about 2 inches on shocks and springs. I had to roll the rears a bit but the fronts were fine. I would assume that with wider wheels and lower offset than mine that you will certainly need guard work and possibly also need to "adjust" the fender lining aswell.

[Dans]

Hey guys and girls. I picked up a set of Blitz technospeed Z1 for my accord euro, specs are 17x8 front 17x9 rear +38 offset front and rear. Just wanting to know how low can I go before having issues. Currently it's stock height.

[kerfuffel]

Depending on tyres mate. My wheels have the same offset, but mine are 18 x 8 I have rolled my rears a little bit and tucked the fender lining at the front because both were rubbing. I'm on coilovers and it's dropped so the fender is flush with the top of my tyres

[EURON8R]

Hi all. Would these specs fit currently not lowered. 18x8 +30 and 18x9 +30. Fr tyres 215/40/18 and rears 235/35/18?

[jjman]

just thought id post a pic of my accord CL9 with some 18x8 +35 rims i put on. Stock suspension. tyres are 225/40/18

Came up better than I thought on stock suspension. Sits a little higher than ideal but i expected it to look higher and 'uncomfortable'. Also doesnt rub at all and did not need any guard work.

The only point i have is that if i could have i would have chosen +45ish wheel offset. As they are with +35 the rears sit dead flush with the arches at 0 camber (all good) but the fronts sit 1cm out of the guards and im not a fan of that look. Its not too bad but really the fronts are what would like the +45 offset.
