Rims Rubbing

[sydfd]

Hey everyone

I have just got my FD Civic, I am wanting to get 17 inch wheels on it.

I was just wanting to know, If i put the 17's on with a 215/40/17 will it rub? will i have to roll guards? Because i dont really want low profiles like 205's because i want my ride to be comfortable.


Regards,

Syd FD

205's WTF!!!

i have 215 40 17 and you dont need to roll gaurds and will get no scrapage what so ever, be warned though its a smaller rolling diametre than stock

and also if you dont lower it your car will look like a 4wd as mine did when i first put my rims on :)

hope that helps

i've got 215/45/17. No issues here. My car looks really good without having to lower it.

If you plan to put a body kit on it (like a Mugen kit), you might not wanna lower the car (or lower it by that much).

Mine is 225/35/19 and it use to rub abit going over bumps.
Now it doesnt rub any more; i think it has worn out everything under the fender. LoL

Lowered on kings 3 inches with mugen kit

because youre lowered ;) that's why rub, otherwise 19 with 35 should be fine.

I have 225/40/18 on mine.. lowered with King Springs.. No rubbing whatsoever.. However, If you drive like a rally driver over Bumps and Holes, thats a different story.. Hey Frost Fd, is it hard to drive with your setup (Mugen kit, Lowered + Big Rims)? Cause i'm thinking of putting mugen kit on mine as well.

yeah, all depend how low you go.but how if when you drive over holes on freeway with 90-110 kmh ? i think still rub too:confused:

guys... silly question here... is offset +60 too big for FDs? :p

[Frost_FD]

Yes if you drive on the free way at that speed and go in a hole you will clunk rather then rub... lol ive done it a few times in pot holes.. just avoid them

Overall daily drving over uneven roads is fine... it just rubs it self out. lol
