Civic EG rim size

[fabezzz]

I was checking out this site urbanimport.com i think its a american site but they sell rota slipstream for pretty cheap and i was wondering what type of offset and size would be for my 93 EG

Im looking for a 15" or 16" but not sure which 15x6.5, 15x7, 15x8, and the same in 16"s

Just looking for a little advise on which fits/looks best or anyone else that has this rim on their civic.

[Sydsyd]

EG stock rims are 14" steelies, and by law (in VIC and most states) u can increase the rolling diameter by 15mm...

on most practical uses, u can use 15 or 16" rims (without sacrificing fuel economy)...on another note, i've seen ppl use 19s on EGs but they'd have to roll their guards...

the rim offset for EGs are between 35-45...so it would be 15/16x7 max if u're not lowering the car...

if u're asking which one looks best...we're all have our own opinions, so i'd say go for the one that u like best;)

Yea i dont think i will be lowering the car since it looks pretty low already, do you think i could sneak in a 17" without mods?

[omgitsmatt]

yes i have 17 inch on my eg and fits perfectly

[fabezzz]

Well if 17s fit ive seen these lenso rims from tempetyres that i think would look pretty good heres a pic let me know what you guys think.

Rota Slipstream.... a good start too for install spoon calipers :D

Lenso still have this wheel company ?

[phwoaaa]

they kinda look like the works cr kai's!

but yeaaa my friend had 17" and they fitted perfectly and, looked awsome as well

[doggys_fan]

i have 17'' on my eg fits great but have to change the tyres ever 12 months

[jay_vtec]

ive got 18's..fit great but when im full locked to the left it scrapes its not lowered though but whenever ive got a full car look out cuz a slight bump makes the guards hit the tyre

[CivicSi]

I've currently got 17s on mine... Car's lowered and i don't have any problems with scraping or bottoming out... only issue is i go through tyres about once a year, but i do drive a lot!

have u re done your suspension set up?

[007]

My EG Si hatch runs coilovers wound almost all the way down on 15x7 (+40) SSR Type C. They never scrape or scrub and run Bridgestone 195/50/15 with a bit of sidewall stretch-looks hot and handles well hard.

[NightKids]

Thinking of getting these rims for my EG5:-

http://i15.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/e9/e7/e1b6_1.JPG

These are 15" . What would be a good offset? +35 or +40? Not too sure i just want it to look like EG5 (Yonas) car....

[rawr]

The lower the offset the better! :) +25 ftw!

[NightKids]

+25! I haven't seen rims with that i don't think....

[Sir_vtec]

u gonna have to modify ur guards to run +25. dont be silly, +32 offset is enough, plenty of dish too.

[tang(oO)]

i think u have to take into consideration wat size tyres u gonna put on them cause that comes into factor as well from personal experience.

good luck

[omgitsmatt]

found out today ( from vicroads road worthy centre ) that 15inch rims are the legal size for a eg seeing as they come stock with 14s

The Lenso AU site is picky on what they'll stock, but you can get all wheels
from the range through them.

Here's the complete range.

I agree, i had 15x7's on my EG, i was actually disappointed when i went to a 16x6.5..just didnt have the aggressive stance of the x7's...

Also, i ran 195/50 on the front with 205/55 on the back, handled awesome. Sussie was stock Vti rear, Stock JDM Type-R front.

why do the tyres wear out faster with 17's

[NightKids]

I can't decide what colour to get for my car. It's a Navy Blue EG:-

some trader here sell rota's... and oh you can get yourself.. your price beat mine :D i just had a group order some weeks ago...

for me i will go 15x7 offset 35-38 ^^

[MDL30N]

do they have a website i can check out?

[DNA-168]

just wondering what size tyres are you guys running for 17's on your EG's??

i currently have 17x7 +42 offset with 215/45/17 all rounds but when turning n etc get alot of scrubbing on the rear, front seems to be ok.....

what tyre size n profile am i best to run??? or should i just roll or flare the gaurds n use the current 215/45/17 i have on them nows???

if anyones can give me some advice that be great..

cheers

[MDL30N]

i would say 215/40/17 or 205/40/17 would be alright...try rolling the guards first..if its still scrubbing..i would suggest to go with a lower profile tyre.

[4age8u]

car is on stock suspension and springs..i have 205/40r17 and dam i get alot of scrapes when i have passengers and go over bumps!
