Your wheel sizes for FD Civic

install some sound proof to prevent noise.. xD

i'd assume it'll be just road noise whilst driving.

of course, noisy while driving, if stop very quite...lol
mine, kumho escta or ecstasy or ??? and got V pattern, even the mech (after installing my BBK), when i asked,
all the brakes are ok ?
- Yes, only the tyres quite noisy...LOL

but most of cheap tyres (kumho, nankang, budget, etc) are noisy except (not tried yet, but my fren say so) Nitto (same manuf with Toyo)
if u want cheap tyres and not noisy, try get straight pattern, not V, might better.

hey another wheel size question :p

is the above wheel on 19x8.5s +45 offset with falken or hankook wheels fit FD?
got told that 19x7.5s are better but will the 8.5 scratch badly? especially with full passengers at the back.

also what brand of tyres are good? hankooks are costing $275 a pop

i think the 8.5 will fit cos the offset is about right.. but if u can get 7.5s then go for those to be safe lol.

uhm read the past few pages, kumho KU31 anf falken f451 tyres have been recommended.

noob question sorry, but im clueless when it comes to fitting the tyre size to an aftermarket rim size.. soo..

what tyre settings would i need to get on my fd with 18x8 rims?

cheers

215/40

i would go 40 thickness,,, for 18

oh i see. why then do people choose like 225/40 though? whats the diference between that and a 215/40?

If your at that kind of price range, get the RE001's. Best tyres around that price.

225 just has more tyre compared to 215. Its totally up to you whether which profile you choose as each car is different.

more tyre as in thicker going vertical or thicker going horizontal? so like wider? or taller? i guess

so say the rim is 18x8
so if u have 225 u will have tyre over hang the rim..
if u have 215 it will be even with the rim..

this is the difference betweet 215/40 and 225/40 on 18x8 at 45+ offset.. hope this help.. =)
