Enkei Raijin rims for Honda accord euro cu2

[atrainz]

Hey guys! Im planning to get myself a set of hyper silver Enkei Raijin rims. May i ask what offset and size should i go with? Currently im planning to get a 18x9.5 et 15 114.3 for 4 rims.

Or should i go for 18x9.5 et 15 for front and et35 for back?

Thanks!

With that offset, you'll have to roll your guards as well if you decide to lower the car.

and it WILL look like a SUV if you don't lower it with those wheels specs.

Thanks aaronng and natnat!

What if i would like to save the hassle for doing the guard rolling procedures? Should i opt for the 18x9.5 +15 offset for all the rims? and add some spacers if i want it to be flush?

Thanks!

^^ wrog way around, less offset = stickin out MORE. Not less

Add spacers on top your car will look like a open wheel racer.....

I think the problem will be the 9.5". I know the CU2 have more room to spare compared to my CL9, but even 8.5" on my car, some will say that it sticks out, and that's with +45. The risk of going 9.5" +35 would be I'm pretty sure it'ld rub or not even fit at all.

[aaronng]

It's based on tyre size and offset. For front, the widest is 225 width and +42 offset as the widest in my opinion. The rear can go wider as there is more space, maybe 235 and +30 roughly without rolling the guards.

[ChaosMaster]

Just to add, 225 on 9.5" is a lot of stretch.

thanks guys for all the valuable information as i have no idea about tyres and most of the shop here in Perth still havent carry them yet.

I would like to get some suggestion on what is the exact size of rims and tyre should i get.

Cheers!

19inch should be plenty for any euro, just imo

18x9.5 ET+15 at the front will be a disaster...it will not fit at all unless you have ridiculous negative camber (i.e. -8degrees)

18x9.5 ET +35 at the rear is fine
but front, you would need something like 18x8.5 ET+35

hope this helps.

18x85 ET+45 is what I'm running. I reckon +35 would stick out as mine is borderline.

it really depends on how much the car is lowered.
with eibach springs, 18x8.5 +41 will be flush at the front and 18x9.0 +40 will be quite flush at the rear

those specs dont need any guard rolling.

BUT if its further lowered with coilovers, the natural (negative) camber will suck the wheels further in and will mean a more aggresive offset can be accomodated. BUT! anything more than 9.0inch ET+40 at the rear will need guard rolling.

Thanks yungquan! Reallu appreciate your help! So its better to go for rear 18x9.5 ET +35 and 18x8.5 ET+35 for front? Cause im planning to lowered the car in the future but not now and i would like it to be like yours which is even out with the side of the car.

Thanks!

depends how much lower you want to go. if its just with eibach/tein springs its perfect. If you want to go any lower, then it will depend how much lower because the lower you go, the more the macpherson struts will suck the wheel inwards ( = need lower offset to compensate ). but that can always be solved with a humble camber kit.

Anyone got pics of 18' or 19' on their Cu2? Trying to figure out which size I should get. Any help will be appreciated! :)

[euRo_noob]

19x9.5 +22 wrapped in 245/35
Running about -4.5 to -5 in the rears.. Haven't gotten an alignment yet as I'm waiting for the fronts to arrive still.

Wow that is really nice! Awesome rims too, just the type I am after. Is that 19x9.5 +22 all four? Any issues with that fitting?

I'm from Melb, could you direct me places to shop at?

19x8.5 +35 f, 19x9.5+30 rear

not my car. but its almost a perfect flush without crazy stretch or camber.

i agree, wheels, tyres, height is perfect and would be somewhat friendly for a daily

atrainz, great choice of rims mate - I am looking to get the same for my CU2. I have been doing some research and found this great little tool http://www.willtheyfit.com/

This will at least show you how much your rim/tyre and offset choice will change vs. your OEM's

I will not be lowering my bus, and a more modest wheel of 18 x 8.5 ET+35 as yungquan has suggested would be my choice (and sticking with my 235/45/18 HP's). Not too much stretch there and modest concave face (although if I could afford new tyres would go for the 9.5 inch).

cheers
