wheels

[viinnh]

ive been searching around for rims for my black ek
what rims are nice to suit a black ek with something along
15x7 +30 to +35
15x7.5 +30 to +35
15x8 +30 to +35

something not to pricey and most likely second hand. whats out there , suggestions please ?
maybe +35 with chunky tyres to fill the guards ? i dont want +25 axis, sportmax etc. with stretch tyres and dump to make it flush etc.

i picked up a set of brand new black enkei 92, 15.8 +35 offset at a decent price. then got re01 for 60bucks each fitted! i reckon looks nice, really up to you. i know jdmyard was selling ogs for 500 on there sale, cheap as.
depends what youre into and on your budget.

I have a set of xxr sportmax 002 15x7 +35 with red centre if you want. I can post a pic a bit later of them fitted to my civic. They don't have epic amounts of dish and you don't need to run stretched tyres on them (i ran 195/50r15 and it was just perfect)

[namtaro]

im running 15x7 +23 195/50/15 all round, 500 bucks for genuine wheels ad daily fitment, cant complain.

quick chop of when i get my wing, front lip, tints, rims and lowered ;)

+ thanks guys rep too all

[namtaro]

should look good, run 195/50 and it will look like the fitment on my eg, even tho mines +23, 2mm really doesnt make a difference lol also im running natural camber, no kits needed

[viinnh]

how many inch drop? guards modifications ? any poke or sits under the guard?

[namtaro]

dunno how much, but im literally on the border of the legal height of 100mm, wheels sit perfect , guards just rolled and rear bumper tabs removed. no poke.

[hondapop]

[viinnh]

nah too weak offset going on 7" inch wide


How much you pay for it ?

havent bought it planning to

[charliebrown]

inb4 defected for poking wheels looool 7" +35 is good for daily bro

or there is 16x8 +38. sticks out another 10mm

[viinnh]

or enkei j speed 2. 15x7+25 :P good fitment. decent dish

[charliebrown]

What colour? On previous page you shopped a pic, looks polished?

[viinnh]

plannning to get silver with polish dish

[hondapop]

Excellent choice

[charliebrown]

Sorry for off-topic, but did you have any guard work done on your old EG? Roll rear? Pull front? Fender liners? I'm only asking because i'm planning to go a similar height and not too sure what's involved

[viinnh]

depends waht rims your getting. but only rolled on the rear and the front was flared a bit with a pole lolz

[charliebrown]

7" 40+. Currently 205/45/16, but will probably go to 195/45/16 cos too fat

Want -2 finger rear, and 0 finger front without camber kits

[viinnh]

well if you dump your car most likely youll get natural camber and 205/45/16 is not much at all doesnt stick out or scrub i had that set up

Do you remember what the clearance was at the front lip in that last pic?

[viinnh]

i dont remember, but with a spoon cf lip it was about 2 - 3 fingers off the ground

[charliebrown]

Mm just doesn't add up? I've got a 6cm wheel gap. But the front lip is 19cm off the ground. So it's still gonna be sitting damn fkn high and can't go any lower than that with the 205/45

lulz had

[charliebrown]

Ended up tucking front wheels, -1 finger gap ish. Surprisingly there is no scrubbage with a 7" +40. On full lock the fender sits bout 5mm from the tyre tread but maybe it's just the coilovers are stiffer so theres no vertical wheel bounce. Guess i won't need the guards rolled/pulled or even remove the fender liner. Good offset! weak... but practical :D

[NeedVtec]

got pics mate?

[charliebrown]

Yeah mate. It went a tiny bit lower than that after a short drive.
