How do I go about making my first aftermarket wheels aggressive?

[cougarbait]

I have the wheels just figured I'd do a bit more research into fitting them aggressively, loved the look more and more over the week I was looking into tyres. Is it pretty much as simple as organizing new tyres (was thinking Kumho KU39 at either 205/40/17 or 245/49/17) and having my guards rolled - would I pretty much be set with near flush wheels then?

Wheels are 17 x 9 with a +35 offset. If so do I just arrange to have the fenders modified, mention I need them to fit +35 offset wheels (??) and then just have the tyres fitted/balanced and put on? Any feedback appreciated, I'm learning so I put it in the noob section.

The only specs I know about the wheels I saw on another guy in the US's DC5 is that they were 17x9 and +35 and the tyres were 205/45/17 but the wheels weren't on a crazy angle or anything.

Oh and car is Honda Integra 03 :) Cheers!

Whoops, 245/40/17 not 245/49/17 :P

Is there a FAQ for fender modding in Sydney? I'm hoping for a flush fitment

It'll come down to your ride height

Dropped about 1.5-2" on Eibach springs and Koni shocks

post some pictures mate, wont know until you test fit them on car, do you want agressive as in Track look or agressive as in stance look.

[cougarbait]

The new wheels don't have any rubber on them yet but wanting them flush or poking out slightly to give it a wider stance

[Baby Face]

wider stance for grip or wider so you can rub massive camber like the stance boys

[cougarbait]

wider stance :)

Im running 215/45/17 rear is 2" drop and sits almost flush. In the front Im only dropped 1" same size tire, its not flush.

It sticks out a little on the sides for that race car look but still within the RTA guidelines.

I wouldn't stance a McPherson setup. If you think torque steer is a problem now......

McPherson setup? Any pics of your DC5?

[Baby Face]

mcpherson is the suspension set up used by newer hondas, it is cheaper to manufacturer and assemble, the downside though is the amount of control you keep of the geometry, older hondas (dc2-4, eg,ek, ap,na, cl, cu) have double wishbone. which is stronger and better for all the forces absorbed by the suspension, so when a car is closer to its limits (stanced) it does pus the capabilities a bit

[cougarbait]

Oh ok, well I've already mentioned my aftermarket suspension setup so don't think that'd apply to me?

Hmm car is at home. Ill see if i are bothered when I get home.

Yes it will. Changing to after market shocks and springs don't mean you changing the type of suspension. Your just replacing the shocks and springs with some what stiffer ones.

Thinking of just rolling the fenders and going with 240/45 all around

wider stance :)

this is genius, doesnt describe accurately what he wants. can not help. hes no where

[cougarbait]

I assumed wider stance meant having the wheels and tyres stand flush/semi-flush as opposed to tucked inside and 'stance boys' to be the guys who have their wheels on an angle. You can't expect everyone who joins up to be an expert :P I see what I like and I pay to have it done, learn the process as I go, simple as that.

heres what u can run without guard work

[cougarbait]

Thats why I'm rolling the guards

[eLtrix]

Im no tyre expert but I don't think 205's would fit on 9inch wide rims, it would be a way far stretch. You would need at least 215's but stretching a tyres too much isn't exactly good for the tyre and car drive-ability. But if all you car about is looks and stance or w/e I can't see why you cant do 215 as some people do like the stretched look.

Lmao "stance"

Wrong forum m8

Try the Honda Club and Sales - NSW facebook page, ask for Moey. He knows a lot about sick fitment.
